Custom Leather Dash?
Has anyone ever seen a C5 dash, or other interior panels covered in leather similar to that of a Ferrari or Lambo?

I wonder if the airbag will deploy.
I saw a super nice one at BG. It was one of those '53 retro mods, and had beautiful brown leather in it. It looked like Ostrich leather.
