Hey guys. I'm dropping a new 403 in my chevelle soon, and since it's my daily I have decided I want to throw some new interior in. I recently had OPGI buckets and center console put in about 8 months ago. The car is a malibu, but I don't think that makes much of a difference.


I'm really looking for:
-leather wrapped dash
-leather seats with suede inserts
-leather door panels with suede inserts

Here are some examples. For instance, the whole dash isn't leather, but just the top piece. Same for the seats, leather on a majority of the seat, but suede in the middle. And for the door panels, half is leather and half is suede:

So, how much will this cost? What's the best place to have this work done? I have a feeling the leather will be pretty expensive. Also, should I get the panels in the back leather wrapped? I think it would look silly doing half leather/half vinyl. Thanks!

The prices are all going to depend on the shops in your area, but you can save some cash by using vinyl for seat backs and lowers. Stuff you don't touch or see as much. The door panels should probably stay leather as they'll be heavy contact points.
