Well not quite leather but immitation leather and not the whole interior but most of it.
I did the center console (from gear shifter and up) and the driver's side airvent so far and results are excellent. I am doing it dove grey to much my leather seats (two tone Charcoil and Dove grey - check profile). I took some pics but i need to upload them.

Next i will be doing the center console (hand brake and back), the sides of the console, the part below the steering wheel and the glove compartment and i am planning to do the lower parts of the doors (Plastic parts) It will be more or less like doggys old interior but his was painted. I have seen something similar on a black 300ZX and it was beatiful.

I am taking a lot of pics for the process for a how-to article when iam done.

its much hotter in Cyprus. But thats why we have airconditioning.

Anyway, the reasons for going through with this are:
1. I already had two tone leather seats and,
2. Due to my GT4 being an accident car, some interior pieces were scratched. I tried to paint the console but i hated the result.

Now i am doing it half leather as most luxury cars (New Mercs, BMWs and SAABs)

i did some more work on the console last night and even though it was extremely challenging due to the extreme detail on the console (had to remove air vents, clock, emergency light etc but the ugly part was putting the back on)
Well when I put it on today i was amazed.I cant wait to continue with it tonight.
