Does anybody know a shop or place that can do that? I have a heated steering wheel, so that may add a bit of complication.
Thanks! |
The process of thickening use 2-3 mm thick of padding foam, I afraid the heat may not go through.
One of our member asked me to get the tailored leather, ship to him and stitch by himself. I am asking this shop to do this and will supply all the thread needed. Difficult part is the stitching if you brave enough to remove the old leather, a irreversible process.
Material: Full grain leather, Alcantara is also possible
if you look at the gear boot, I changed the small piece of leather to dark gray alcantara with light gray stitches to match the performance gear knob
