Centre console trim?
You think its possible to cover the entire centre console in a material such as faux leather etc. By the centre console i mean where the gearstick is/electric windows etc.
Im going to attempt it in a few days anybody seen this done or thought about it?

You could do it, would be a major effect. Couldnt you just spray it the colour you want?
