I have the leather pieces for the door panels from the same source. I've been converting my interior to black and red. The door panel work is a few weeks away but if the OP isn't able to post by then, I will post picks of my doors and if I remember, I will take a few photos of the process. No guarantee on how they will turn out though.
Have been busy lately wrapping some of the plastic interior panels. Really gives the car a nicer feel and the leather smell is top notch. I'm not done yet but wanted to share a few pics of the progress.
Still need to hit this one with the heat gun.
Very nice! Is there an option for the color of stitching?
Going to try to show start to finish. Here are a couple of pics of the inner halo covering. I'll start working on the install tonight after work.
How it shows up. The leather laid out. Backside The clips that hold the inner halo in place.
Just finished with the heat gun. This piece was a little challenging due to the curves in the Targa latch cove. I'm pleased with it though. I'll post pics after I reinstall.
I did my e-brake handle in black with red stitch. Not an exact match to GM red stitch but close enough. Going to do the gauge pods next then probably door pulls. Great quality pieces.

So I received my door sill leather in today and went right at it. I watched numerous youtube videos to get an idea how the pro's do it. I sanded down the panel with 200 grit sandpaper and wiped it clean with rubbing alcohol. I used contact cement from home depot and just worked with about 6 inches of leather a time when applying the cement. I used little .49 cent clips from depot to hold the leather in place on the back side of the panel while drying. Turned out pretty damn good:
just took my time like you said, laid the leather out first to see how it would fit, let the sun warm it up a tad and went to town. Biggest issue was getting the threaded part to line up correctly. Best interior mod ive ever done
Where did you get the clips you are using to hold it in place. I realize a clothespin make work as well but those look a little stronger and more durable.
