Door Panel Cloth
Is anyone else's door panel cloth wearing down? Mine has started to wear where I rest my elbow on the door while driving. Argh this is annoying!!! I want to have my car re-upholstered w/ something other than cloth on those panels soon.

How much do you think it would cost to cover it with leather? Also, how long would leather last?

After thinking about it for awhile, wouldnt a leather insert on the door be tough on the arms during the summer? Leather gets VERY hot when exposed to the sun for a period of time. Im going to stick with the suede material until it becomes a big problem. I know my P5 is hot, but I dont want my arms to be

Naw... doesn't get hot at all. THe seats on the other hand can get a bit warm. Although I'll never get a car without leather again. (maybe suede like the Audi seats) You can get cooling for them but being a lease, screw that.
