Re: J-F-Customs Leather kit
I checked into the J F Customs EBay shop for the leather wrap door handles. They clearly state this as a Coupe only item. That doesn't make sense to me. Aren't the door handles common to all Crossfires? Since my driver handle is splitting in back, and I risk slicing my fingers if not careful, this looks a great alternative to scrounging for a left side inner door handle.

Re: J-F-Customs Leather kit
I LOVE how this looks. Am so tired of touching up the paint on the interior of my Crossfire! Just a few questions---was it difficult to install??? What adhesive was used? Are there any tips/suggestions that you have? I have the medium slate gray interior with the alabaster exterior and I think that the black stitched leather would upgrade the interior immensely. Thank you for any insights:suggestions!

It was my first time working with leather allthough i have covered a few subwoofer boxes in my time but they were all carpet or vinyl and didnt have white stitching to line up.
Leather is nice to work with tho,it Stretches quite well and if you get a piece on wrong you can peel it off and do it again... if you are fast.
I got a little creative with the top edges on the glovebox etc ,i cut strips of spare leather and used those to 'pad' out the edges, it looks better than just being flat imo
If i were doing it again i would cut out 'SRT ' or XF and lay those letters under the leather on the glovebox, , it be very cool .
Anyways take your time , dont expect to have it all done in a weekend ,slow an careful does it . spray contact adhesive, a chalk marker pen, a sharp knife , pair of sharp scissors and, a few of those chinese plastic trim removal tools they sell on febay. these are good for pushing the leather into place . a hairdryer and another pair of hands is a help too !
Go for it , it was actually fun and very rewarding too, people think it came that way ,thats cool with me.
Good luck and tell us how you go.

Re: J-F-Customs Leather kit
the leather has not fallen off anywhere, i used spray contact glue , cant remember the brand.
it wont " ruin" the parts , but if you tore the leather off you can expect to have to clean up the glue left on after.
You would have to repaint the parts too after that .
Do it right and you wont ever want to tear it off .
Remember you can lift and adjust the leathers position on the trim pieces as you fit , but think ahead where the next piece should lay, as i said before you must get the seams flat and the stitching to all lineup ok.
Its not that hard to do .

Re: J-F-Customs Leather kit
This looks great. I can't remember if JF Customs made the leather e-brake boot I purchased on eBay earlier this year. Unfortunately it didn't fit - it was too small, even after heating the leather up, letting it sit on the end of the e-brake handle for a while to help stretch it out, etc.
*Edit - I just checked, same company. Maybe I just got a faulty e-brake cover. I never bothered to contact them back since it wasn't very expensive. It ended up ripping after my numerous attempts to get it to slide over the e-brake handle. But wow, they sell a lot of leather stuff for our interior. Good to know for future.
