It was the backing that doesn't stretch, the ostrich skin is quite stretchable. I wont be doing it this year, since what I did looks very good but sometime in the future it will happen.
And does the ostrich pattern matches better the factory look? I went to a shop yesterday, quoted me $160. Then today they told me it was too cheap, because of the car and the "what if I loose a nut or something". Hate when that happens when they see the car . I guess I'll have a weekend project then
