Change armor stats

What about adding capability of altering the stats of armor in the game. Using the new armor trim mechanics but instead of a single ore to add iron, gold, diamond, etc..  as armor trim. Using a whole block that visually still looks the same (so no new textures or anything) but would change the armor stats to what ever block was trimmed to it.

Like you could take a piece of leather armor and trim a whole block of netherite onto it. The idea for this is too give further customization to the game for players who like the look of certain armor combinations but never truly get to use them because they simply don't stack up. Especially now with the variety of armor combinations and mixing and matching, something like this would almost grantee what ever armor you want would look totally different than someone else but still be just as viable.

Balance wise shouldn't be an issue either because it would always cost more to change the stats of the armor as apposed to just making armor of something like diamonds. Would cost 9 ingots of a material to change stats for a single piece so a total of 36 ingots to change stats for a full set of armor.
