If you guys are wrapping parts in leather, they MUST be properly toleranced first. That means removing the same amount of material from the plastic part as you're adding to it with leather. Generally, 1/16" is enough for leather and will allow all parts to sit flush/factory. If you don't tolerance your parts, the material will bunch up and look really bad.
I honestly think Redline is putting out good stuff (with the exception of the tilted BRZ logos) but it really boils down to incompetent installation. I'm not knocking anyone but if you don't know upholstery, DON'T DO IT!! You make your car look like total shit and you make the company that supplied the material look like shit too. You don't install leather or alcantara with "3m tacky strips" around the edges...you MUST glue the entire part and the material for a proper installation. Unless you have the basic upholstery tools (spray gun, contact cement, upholstery scissors, spatulas, etc) DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!! Support a local shop and have it done right...you will thank me later.
