Thanks everyone, I sold my door panels and all the gloss black wood trim. My glassed door panels and rear quarters will be done next week. I have a different direction I'm going with the wood trim. So stay tuned!

Your right fiberglass cracks, but only under a lot of stress. The elements are not a factor being that it is inside of the car. Also my fiber glass guy is very experienced and has been doing his craft for 20years. You are right again being too shiny and that is why my next upgrade will balance the shininess out. I'm working on it as we speak.

Thanks! I dunno for sure. But if you want it perfect, glass is the way to go. My doors definitely had to be glassed because it is leather and has alot of give. Harder surfaces maybe are much easier to paint without glass I'm sure?

Well I did alot of thinking on how to tone down the shine of the interior and keep a really clean look. If O.L.T. found the best tan leather for our cars, then I must have found the best black leather! Just like the fiberglass, I havn't seen this done before so I went for it!

Watching the wild card games and started the next DIY. The center console was next to get perforated leather treatment. I don't have a lot of patience but I had to dig deep on this one and get it perfect. Here are the pics, hope u like it.

I personally liked the fiberglass on the center console, kinda reminds me how vettes have that "waterfall" look to them with the center console. But nonetheless the perforated leather looks great as well!
