Leather door skins

Has anyone used these or know anything about them?

Considering the price of new door cards or even vinyl skins these look like a bargain.

I bought a leather dash cover from them earlier this year. Quality of materials and workmanship was good but design wasn't up to par. This of course may not apply to door skins. The technical skills for door skins are not anything like those for wrapping the curves of a dash.

 

Their English language skills are somewhat lacking and may not be up to answering anything but basic questions. Also, they have no color standards to match our Z's and I would stick with basic black. (bad luck for my blue interior).

Okay, I'll be the guinea pig, when they arrive I'll take some pics and put them up.

Don't forget about Interior Innovations ( www.interior-innovations.com ) in Saginaw, Michigan.  They offer full-leather interior panel kits for Z's (in a full range of colours), along with full-leather seat covers.  Although door panels aren't listed, they might just get interested in producing them if the probable level of demand catches their attention.

Oh I haven't forgotten them, I'll be placing an order with them soon for the diamond stitched leather

tunnel and strut tower covers with charcoal stitching. I will mention the door skins when I put my order in.

The leather door skins arrived today, I'm pretty impressed. Good quality leather and nicely done stitching.

Can't wait to get started on them. These pics were taken seconds after opening the package where they had been folded, it has been a couple of hours now and the fold marks are disappearing.

Looks great to me.  I wish they had those in Ginger.

I am so thankful to you guys. I decided to redo my entire interior. May try a color change to burgundy. We will see.  However, I have never heard of that interior company before. Their product and prices look outstanding.

 

THanks so much for the new source guys!!

Chris, thanks for the info!  My door skins are definitely needing some help and this looks like a good idea.  Can you take some photos of your progress and update us on the results?  Thanks.

Mike, I will for sure, but these are for my next, modified Z. I'm suppose to be working on the

"Original" car right now and getting it ready for sale so it might be a few months before I start laying it up.
