Default Center Console Custom Covering

I have a custom molded center console for my fuel and boost gauges. I want to cover the console in the stock style black leather or maybe some other custom leather wrap?
Who does this kind of work?

I got mine from Redline Goods. there are many covers on the Forum. probably the best quality is Vette Essentials but most of the major after market companies do them.

Thanks DeeGee. I moulded in a set of guage pods and changed the radio in my C5 so the console piece is not stock any longer. I ended up painting it but I think I would prefer having leather or similar material wrapped on this piece. The problem I am running into is the compound curves for the guage pods. No one that I have spoken with so far has been able to say yes we do that. I am hoping that someone has a source that can do this for me.


Thanks all Sixty4....

Caravaggio could definitely do it but I'm not sure what the cost would be. I bet it would look fantastic

Not sure if Vette Essentials would do it, but give Matt a call. If they will do it, you won't be disappointed with their work.
