Default More leather less wood mod

I love the Birds Eye Maple wood but sometimes I think its too much.
Thanks to ebay I could buy parts to use for making changes.
I purchased a console and some black leather material. I just used contact cement to cover it.
The only changed needed is to file some of the plastic away to accommodate the thickness of the leather on the edges.

Nice job! It looks like you kept the original piece and covered a different one.

Yes I do keep the original parts and I think I may do the radio cover too in leather or titanium wrap.
The camera flash makes the color look like it does not match but it does in the car.

Looks great in the interior and the wrap job looks very well done too.

Very nicely done.

You might have a fair amount of struggles doing the NAV & radio doors. They will both have clearance issues that you will have to overcome.
