New Leather - Shop??
Okay, so I've been looking to get my interior redone since mine is in really bad condition right now and wanted to know what you guys thought about the options I have. Initially, I was going to redo the whole interior and change the interior to black or charcoal but that's just too much money right now.
As a result, I've decided to just redo my seats (front and back) to a 2-tone set-up. I went to a couple of shops today and one place quoted me about $2,200.00 for leather and labor for the seats. Another place quoted me $1,800.00 but I talked the guy down to $1,600.00 but told him that I'd shop around a bit more. The second guy I talked to though seemed as if he'd go down to $1,500.00 which makes me believe he'll probably go down lower--$1,300 to $1,400.00 maybe??? Wishful thinking probably.... Haha At any rate, I asked both shops how much they would charge for labor if I provided the leather (leatherseats.com) and they both said anywhere between $350.00 to $500.00. So my question to you guys....buy the leather and have a shop install it for me, have the shop do everything for me, or buy the leather and attempt the install myself following Deft Spyder's guide???

Re: New Leather - Shop??
do it yourself, per Deft Spyder's guide. there's a local guy here that did the labor himself, after getting the new leather from leatherseats.com. turned out REAL nice.

Dang that is expencive!! There is a place out here called pennies.. There are a bunch of cool hispanic guys that don't speek good english and the shop looks like crap but they do a killer job! Somthing like that would only cost like 400-600 bucks.. And in this case the price does not reflect the quality of the work!!
