Finally... I finished re-trimming my old door cards, I used 2 red suede cow (kid) hide. It costed me around 50 bucks and atleast 4 hours of my time. I'm very happy how it turned out.:P

No, it's not that hard.

Here's how I did it...
I cut the fabrics and foam on the edges of the cards (leaving everything on the face side of the card)

Then cut the leather and wrap the cards.

I used Selleys Shoe Glue to hold the leather.
