Interior leather wrapping project

[syedsarosh]

hi all ..

i am analysing the idea of leather wrapping of car interior ...

the project car is my cuore ... and i want to hide the evident metal surfaces with leather sheet or carbon-fiber fabric ... the surfaces are as follows:

• door metal surface below window (all 4 doors)
• partition between fwd and aft door, (only the upper half)
• surface below ceiling, all around the car periphery
• air cond controls console outline ( made of composite in dash)
• door handle and door opener (plastic)
• stock steering horn push area

i wil really appreciate if some1 knows abt this work ... i could nt find local following info also:

• info of the name of materials in local mkts.
• type of materials
• their cost
• the gule effects on the paint, as the wrapping covers the painted surfaces
• effect of wrapping on air conditioning of car

only foreign examples i can find is as follows

regards

i am still in search of leather example on net ... but plz do gve idea of carbon fibre as in pic

dont use this - find the same material as the door card and very very thin foam, stick it to the metal above the card. for the dash panels, they are plastic - and you can use paint to accentuate them like the old city had.
