There's a little bad A upholstery shop here in Austin. The is perforated vinyl which was 20 a yard. They had perforated leather at around 35-40 a yard. I got some soft 1/4 sew foam they had as we'll 1/2 yard 4.88. Then just a can of spray glue (3m 90)

Vinyl-20
Foam- 4.88
3m - 8
Screws and washer- 6.

A half yard is more than enough for 4 doors. I just wanted extra for the "what if"

Actually yes but I'll need to take a photo of the foam I used. The application of the foam will give you a crease if you use the wrong side. I'll post a photo of that later tonight when I get home

I'm in Austin too. Which upholstery store are you referring to? I have my front doors done in leather and need more for my rear doors.

Obviously take your time. Start with one of the back panels incase you make a mistake it won't be a daily eye sore. More tips to come later

If there is enough interest I can check on getting some sample colors swatches and pricing out a DIY kit for people to order. Would need to see what colors people would be interested in.
