   faux leather is the one that has a bit more give in it
   
   i retrimmed my doorcards in faux suede but still havent done a guide, although if you do a search you will find something

   use a hotair gun to work the leathercloth also it stretches more one way than the other so work out wich is best way before applying hope this helps
