mines all DIY by me and the mrs, used vinyl, like leather but not. Used timebond impact adhesive, the key is to take your time and dont move on until you are happy its going to dry without major air bubbles.

not a great pic but you can see the fronts, parts of the dash and the door pockets.

bit of a work in progress pic
