The cost of a custom interior?

[Nemesis RR]

I was curious how much the custom interiors by our sponsers can range on a convertible A-Body? I while I know it has to be a more than an OEM job but by how much.

Also do any companies have custom interior panels and MATCHING front and rear seats that will bolt in?

I am located in northern NJ. Any good shops around that will not want my first born as a downpayment?

$6,000 to $11,000 in leather depending on shop and level of work that you desire

[Nemesis RR]

Would that include dash and gauges? And how much cheaper would be a good vinyl?

I can only imagine that you are paying for labor, not materials, so leather vs vinyl might not make much difference. The downside (IMO, of course) to most custom jobs is that in 5 years they look dated and you're that guy who spent $$$ on some corny looking trim pieces. That being said this stuff looks good, at least for now https://www.pro-touring.com/showthre...-interior-pics

I cant imagine that interior ever looking dated.

leather usually dont look dated some fabrics do

tweed sometimes even though i like it still

Materials are a big part of the cost of a job if using leather. Leather can range anywhere between $5 dollars a sq ft to $35. There are roughly 18 sq ft to a standard fabric yard. The average set of front and back seats takes between 8-10 yards of material.

That being said you could end up anywhere between $720 to 6300 in leather alone just to do the front and back seat.

If you are looking to have something done or looking for any seats shoot me an email. Even if you dont buy anything from me i can make sure you dont get ripped off somewhere else.

OMG! I dont know where your getting your leather from but if you are paying that much per sq ft for leather then we definately should talk!! I own an ACTUAL running leather tannery and can supply you and other shops with leather for a much better price than that! I sell on a large commercial end ( 10,000 to 1 million sq ft runs) but have contemplated starting a side business selling upholstery shop quanitites at a price where I can make some money and you can save a boat load on price.. Maybe we should talk??

The cheapest i have seen decent leather for is $3 per sq ft and its pretty rough. That being said we def. should talk. Shoot me an email if you dont mind - [email protected]

A show quality custom int will run 20k and up from top level interior specialist

[Ron@JJCustomInterior]

that is a ridiculous price, i would put our work up against anyone out there and we would never charge half of that. If somebody quotes you 20k to do your interior turn around and walk out the door.

Thank you for the offer. I will be contacting you. Cant say you will see by car as you are 2,811 miles away from my location as I am located in Northern NJ.

[Ron@JJCustomInterior]

Sounds good, just lmk if you have any questions.

Also if you do end up having trouble finding someone local 99% of our business is out of state, and prob 70% on the east coast. We have very affordable shipping options as well. We can ship two front Recaros and a rear seat from WA to FL for under $200.

Sure it can be done cheaper but I'm talking top shelf stuff with all custom fabled door panels modified seats custom center console etc. Using really nice leather etc. Look at the gg smoy cars. That's what I am talking about

please pm me a price for a set of the bottom seats pictured if I supply the leather. Where are you located in Tacoma?

[John510]

Not to sounds cocky but i beleive our fit is even better then the original in most cases.

We are currently doing a 100% complete custom interior for a customer with custom panels, dash, and so on that i can post pictures of as we go along. Long story short i know what im talking about when i say you should never pay 20k to have your interior done unless you are doing a bus or motorhome.

Before you get too cocky over your work and cutting down shops that charge over 20K I suggest you look up Recovery Room interiors and compare it to the pics you posted above.

Here I added a link for you.
