Great idea [MENTION=350383]crank_addict[/MENTION] I'll try the lacquer thinner and see if that brings it back to life. Its in otherwise really good condition so I'll probably end up wrapping over it with faux leather Deda tape.
[MENTION=29368]rootboy[/MENTION] Its definitely not real leather after closer inspection, the threads somehow seem to be part of the mold! They did a good job with it, fooled me for awhile haha.

Will update you guys soon! Thanks for the advice everyone
