Default Leather Wrapped Gauge Pod??

So im finally finishing the interior of my car....im wrapping a bunch of stuff in leather...its close to the frost color interior but a little lighter. i did everything already, the dash...bottom half of the doors(tops are cf)...center console....trunk pieces....everything....al i got left is my triple gauge pod. i molded the pod to the pillar already but i need some ideas on how to do the seams on the piece....it cant be done in one piece of leather so i have to sew it obviously...ive been doing upholstery stuff for years so doing the seams isnt a big deal at all...i already did some other pieces with som stitching in the car, but i cant figure out the best way to do it on the pillar...so anyone that has pics of their wrapped gauge pods please post em up...or if anyone knows a site where i can go to see pics lemme know....i searched already too with no luck. Thanx...Oh and i am going to take some pics of the interior this week to show what i am doing. just gotta do this stupid piece first.
