Just got these last night
This is the first ones to come back from our new supplier on leather
This is a couple pics of a full wrap with black stitching.
I will update this later today after we get to the shop today and take some better pics for everyone.
We have more bezels and consoles on the way back for everyone to see
I am working on some door panels right now as well with getting them finished in leather for my car.
I have seen several threads with this retooling now and they just keep getting better - outstanding work. I used to be a car stereo installer 20 years ago when it was not nearly as mainstream to sink thousands of dollars into a stereo system and you had to make your own mounting kits many times (300ZX used the factory radio and a piece of ABS plastic to "make" the mounting kit....had to explain to them; I have some good news and some bad news...good news is you will get a cool new CD player, bad news is the factory radio is going to sacrificed to do it - they later came out with a kit). My point is, when I get ready to swap my factory unit out I don't have to look any further. Keep it up
Nice job! Is this a service you'll be providing? If so, I'd like to know what the cost would be to do just what you show in these pix, except for a stock upper console (no DD). Thanks!

399.99 to wrap the bezel in leather
the finished product is 100 times better than the stuff Carskinz was attempting to do for me when he felt like working
I have more coming back soon

Dennis, looks great! Using the same color stiching vs. contrasting really ads a classic and elegant look. You have to feel like you died and when to heaven after having to deal with Chris. It's amazing what a difference a professional business person can make.

I am working on door panels for my car
I split them and going to have lower done in hydro and top in leather
Looking forward to the pics. I think if you match up the door panel seems with the same colored stitching (black on black), it will look awesome. The only leather door panel solutions I've seen so far have the contrasting stitching. Obviously, some people want that, however I think it would look great with black on black stitching.
Once you start offering that service, will core's be required for the doors? I think the P&H may be an issue if customers need to send you the door panels first. The size/shape of the box will be an expensive shipment unless you have a commercial packaging deal.
Also, could you use customer-supplied leather to match existing VE or other custom interiors if requested?
