What sort of prices are people paying for this to get done. Theres a few cars around with the cream interior or black interior...
Any ideas?

I give you mine as an example.
2x Sparco reclinable bucket seats with Sparco rail for FTO $2000.
Retrim those seats in custom duo tone high graded leather $2000.
Retrim door cards in same high graded leather $250
Retrim back seat in leatherette $250 and half a day of DIY
custom painted center golve box and front glove box to match the front seat leather colour. $250
Total spend $4,750
Sounds system would be depends on what you like, i spend around $8k over 4yrs with other bit and pieces as well.
So to get to my interior/I.C.E what it looks like today, cost me $12,750

Dam what a waste of money......

well if u decide to just get leatherettes rather than bucket seats and genuine leather, then it'll work out a whole lot cheaper and it'll be what 99% of the people have done.
just buy leatherette seats, order extra material for the roof lining, sun shades and door panels etc, i ordered enough material to cover most of the shiet inside my car and it cost me like 570$ all up. now to get someone to install all of it (the seats u can do urself with a good 10 hours of DIY)
the rest like the door panels, sun shades and painting the centre console your best off getting someone to do it for u, which would cost roughly around.. $600ish? (i'm guesstimating here)
so all up u can spend about $1500 tops and have it look real nice
or if you REALLY HATE COWS then go genuine leather and spend more

retrimming door panels and painting/retrimming centre console and stuff is easy as piss.. once u get to the point where your pulling the entire dash out it gets a bit harder though. if u want parts painted and your in brissy, id suggest u dont go to a auto interior place .. jus take the parts out urself and take it to some factory.. should cost less than $25 a part for sure. if your in brissy i can help u out
or if your game and have a mate with a spray gun u can buy a litre of good quality paint with a kit with all the hardener/thinners for about $50. litre should be enough for all small interior parts. need some plastic primer too probably about $10-15

I did it for the sake of no one had done it. As i know there are only 2 FTO in Australia got reclinable branded buckets seats with genuine bucket's rail. So i went one step further by retrimed them in leather.
If someone ask me will i do it again, i say hell no. Whats the point of doing a car interior up thats worth half of the bloody car

Or in some cases more then those sh*t box FTO on the market.
