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.

Good thing that car is never left in the sun. Glue used is supposed to be good for this kind of things and i got a brand new can to be sure the glue is fresh.

You are correct on the fact that this is much more difficult than it shows because the leather used does not bend much so sometimes i had to cut corners. The end result is good though. I will be installing them today on car and take a few more pics.
