Shannon,
I've wondered about doing the door trims Bentley-style, with a diamond stitch pattern:

I don't want to irreversibly change whats there, so would it be possible to just wrap a layer of leather (and some thin foam to give it cooshiness) over the existing trim? Although now that I say this I'm guessing without gluing it up against the backing it wouldn't work. Might just see what the factory leather parts off an LX are worth.

I do like the Carbon fibre. im not sure if the diamond pattern will work as on the lancers the trim goes down to the arm rest on the door. (may look good idk)

that would be so hard to do i reckon. have you seen kimmy's? she has plain fabric and stitched pink daimond pattern into it. i dont know if putting foam underneath would work. you would have to use heaps of glue. i used leather on mine which looks really cool but wasnt the easiest thing to work with.

Plasti dipped my Evo x exhaust manifold.. MAP has a service where they put a ceramic coating on the manifold to retain heat.. Plasti dip says it retains heat so I thought it might do something :P

Yeah I know - I figured I would have to use a separate plain piece for that area.

Me thinks it will last all of about 5 minutes if your lucky before it either burns off or catches fire. Plastidip is not intended for use in such high temperature applications

From the Plastidip Tech Specs page http://www.plastidip.net.au/html-file-repo/PlastiDip_UV%20TechDataSheet%20BP_1.pdf
Temperature use range: -30°F to 200°F.
