[hondavti25]

Hey guys, did a quick search couldnt find much apart from DIYs. If i was going to pay to get my ej8 interior done in black and red vinyal.(i dont think i could aford leather) How much would i expect to pay? Any suggestions would be helpful thanks.

hey man,

One thing you should remember with interiors is that u end up paying most for labour, not the materials itself, so going leather might not be significantly more expensive then vinyl.

gotta remember man, leather can stretch both ways, but vinyl can only stretch one way so its harder to use. Also there are 2 different grades of vinyl, ur usual vinyl and special UV treated vinyl. the normal vinyl will start to crack under direct sunlight.

Do your research and find out what vinyl ur potential trimmers might use. The way I see it, spend abit more and do it once and properly.

Depending on who is doing it, quality of the work and material, expect to pay around $1500-2000.

you can do a lot of the stuff (like the carpet) yourself. i have never upholstered in my life and i did my carpet, turns out fine. i took slower than usual but i saved myself a $300 quote
