You can't, but you can buy leather and 3M adhesive spray and make some in about an hour.

Yeah, thats what i was thinking. My buddy did that in his explorer but it was a little bit different because his was one flat surface i guess? In the Eclipse you have that weird little arm rest looking thing to mold onto. Would that adhesive stick to that so it wouldnt like come off i guess?

Use the 3M spray on adhesive. Works wonders.

And make sure whatever material you are working with is warmed up so you don't get any wrinkles while you're filling in the contours.

The 3M adhesive will actually hold well enough that if you try to remove the material afterwards it will rip before the bond is broken (Ask me how I learned this one LOL). Just make sure you follow the instructions on the can. (basically let everything get dry enough that it's barely tacky, and coat the back of the material being applied and the surface of whatever you're applying it to)

You wouldn't believe how many people try to stick material to soaking wet adhesive that was sprayed on waaaay too thick and end up with a weak bond and "snot stains" of wet adhesive bleeding through the fabric.

depends on how much money you want to spend. Real leather is really expensive where as vinyl is alot cheaper and can still look as nice

Ha lol, good question. Im 99% sure online almost anywhere. But im going to check my craft stores first, maybe even walmart?? Lol. Ill let you know.

EDIT:
I just checked Joann's online store and they sell 3M Super 77 Adhesive. But in the description it says "Not recommended for vinyl or automotive use. By 3M™, in 2 oz bottle." Is the the right stuff your talking about?

They do sell it at Wal-Mart, that's where I got mine back when I did the stereo in my Sable. I remember the can being all black and grey though, but mabe they changed the pacaging.

If you have an autobody supply store around you, they always have it.
