If there is sewing involved i'd take it to a upholstery shop cuz leather is really tuff to get through with a needle and may burn out traditional sewing machines.
Otherwise some sort of 3M spray adhesive may work. There is a guy on this forum, evileagle, that recently wrapped his side panels with suede, he'd be more of an insider. I guess ask him how he did it all~

Since you have the dash off, you should SEM satin black + clear coat the top to go for the two tone interior.

hmm... interesting, I've actually been thinking of wrapping everything with black leather. As for the burl wood... Black leather everything with Dark Burl? but lets not get to ahead i only make 7.95 an hour.

If you can afford black leather, leather > sem for sure. Also one of a kind.

That sure does look pretty.

alright, this might be on a pause for a month or less... I'm having a very hard time trying to find the center sc430 trim and vents, and come Monday I might be buying a rainy day/ winter driver. If i can find a deal on one i will try to jump on it asap.
