Pretty cool. Not many people put so much work into their interior. I had never thought of doing leather. Your work looks very skilled. Congrats!
Now if you can make an FD interior that never squeeks or rattles I'll pay you big bucks to do mine too!

Looks nice, very original. the only thing that i wouldn't have done was the "RX7 R1" lettering under the stereo. but still very unique.
Oh and whats up with all the gauges? LMAO

I may redo that piece because of the "RX-7 R1", I am trying to figure out if I like it or not. That one is a pain in the butt to work on with all the little hole and stuff. Gauges? Sorry, I don't know what you mean or the term, LMAO.

By the way, if you drive your wife's car, what does she drive? Your 7? Or do you make her take the bus?
My daily drive is an '03 Dodge Durango quad-cab.

The good thing about leather is that it act as a cushion so it stops all the squeeks and rattles. By the way, I beefed up both door haddles with metal bars inside so when you grab it, it feels extremely firm. Ask one of my buddy up here, grinn253, who likes to touch my baby.

Kayin, whatever you do, if you do this, MAKE SURE you find a very expensive top notch guy to do the work. I know how **** you are about your FD (much like I am). It will take a LOT of time and patience to wrap something like a door panel in leather while keeping the "tightness" of the wrap uniform (not tight around the angles and bends, and loose along the straight parts etc), as well as applying the correct amount of adhesive to make it last. Def. not a noob job.
On that note, I know a local guy for it if you're interested...
