It has only taken me 20 years to start doing something substantial to the interior of ugly. I have located a company that sells auto/ aviation leather. I ordered one Hyde 52square feet and one hide at 25 square feet and only spent $235.00. I am planning on sending the smaller piece leather to Classic 9leather and he will cut and sew the dash cover and knee pad cover. He actually sells the leather cover for the upper and knee pad for around $300.00 shipped. (You have to install) I will be covering all the other interior components as well minus the back pad. (That will be when I can collect the funds) I will take photos as I progress. Keep your fingers crossed!

Though leather does have a great smell and feel, you do have to concerned about it shrinking and distorting panels over time. Just ask anyone that has a leather covered older 911 dash!
