I have access to lots of leather in various thickness', colors and textures. Most of it isn't appolstery leather (this is usually thicker) so that's out of the question. What else can be done with this stuff? I'd like to find a way to market this if possible. Got any ideas?

the kicker....
you custom fit each one.....
....imagine all the fun.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)

Well I can see where this is going. I guess i should have seen it coming though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I was thinking dash skins too. I know the black would sell, but I also have faux gator and other exotic looks. Then there's the printed stuff... For the Texas crowd, I can get "hair on hide" in the typical black/ white & bown white colors.

Don't wory Craig, most of the stuff I have access too is too thick to make stuff like that. Also, I don't hace access to an industrial sewing machine.

Ideas so far:
Dash front & top
Headliner
GT door latch
