DIY reupholster gauge pillar pod

[Eppic]

So i have a 3 gauge a pillar pod that came in this shiny black finish. i don't like that. so i have bought some leather to refinish it so it match's my dash. now being a bit of a perfectionist i have noticed that the leather may be a bit difficult to get on there seamlessly.

i started taking pictures for a diy but already running into problems. saw one guy with a 350z stitch one together but i don't want to do that.

is there any place in the city that does vacuum vinyl or that type of thing? like i'm thinking the best way to have a seamless finish is to vacuum a material with a similar finish to my dash.
what are my options?

Carbon wrap!

i want a factory look. better selling feature.  i already spent $5 on fabric. kinda want to use it too. not to sure you can shrink leather. i dunno. mom's a seamstress, she's gotta have a way

Get some crazy strong glue. Like what they spray sub boxes with and put the leather on.

I know this is a old post but i figure i'd throw my two cents in. You dont want to use real leather for something like this. instead opt for using a matching vinyl, leather strinks when heated and doesnt offer the stretch needed to get around the pods. with vinyl all you need is a little bit of heat and boom.

Probably far too late, but..

Marine vinyl has a lot of advantages. I may have some left in black if you want to try.

I have some commercial spray adhesives that I've been told do not work by an upholsterer, but im not sure I trust him (wanted me to spend 1800 to redo 2 seats). I'm sure they would work perfect, but haven't had time to try it. I should have some on site, let me know if you want some.
