Get a phone book and look up car trimming and car upholstery. Look around for best possible price. Write a list of what you need done. I'll be getting seats done soon. Costing me over $500 for leather. As for carpet it's a DIY job. What you want to get done?

I am sure my mate (who did my Evo) could do leather cheaper for you... He said his supplier had an overstock the other month, and it was literally half price... That is if you don't mind driving up to Sydney ...

You don't get cheap prices in nowra. I'll have to come to syd and show you guys the car so you can tell me what your opinion is as to what to do with her. I'm mainly into interior. I want my car to be a sleeper.

OK .. Well, if you want leather done on the dash, and doors ... Well, you are looking at some serious $$.

The Evo to have done, the whole car (roof/door/dash/everything plastic) would have cost the normal person anywhere between 6-7k...

Leather is more expensive... And, if you do dash, then you need to do the entire door.. Then the entire centre console.. Then all the plastic that comes up the centre of the car including the gear surround and everything attached...

Given an FTO is only 2 door, there is not going to be too much of a price difference... And if you do the whole car, then that plastic bit below the window at the rear will look out of place... So you will need to wrap that too...

Those ones look like the covers that you pull over.. I have had friends use them, and they weren't 100% happy with the fit...

The ones that you want, are from ProSeat on ebay ... They are a custom made skin, that requires you to fit them properly ... For a full set (front +rear) I think he was charging $595 or something like that...

This is the style I am working on with my suppliers OS, that will work out a little cheaper... I hope to have them $400-$500 landed and delivered... It is really going to come down to freight... And who I have bringing containers over ... and if I get "mates rates" discounts...
