Leather Conversion

Does anybody know the price to convert the cloth seats to leather?

I moronically punched through a spray paint can inside the car and got paint all over the interior... while I was able to clean up the plastic/metal parts, all of the cloth seats were soaked with paint and my insurance said they can be covered under comprehensive. So I'm thinking if the repair bill is high, I'll just take the money and get them wrapped with leather!

Look into the old trusty CST option as well - $1400-1600 for full leather treatment. But, looks like you may have some staining on some non-seating areas, which wouldn't be part of the deal with them.

Um, I got mine done by CST for $1600. Others have paid a little less for same thing - depends on the local franchise's price, I guess.

You also might want to send MBenzNL an E-mail if you're looking for a more factory look. But the choice is yours- aftermarket or factory. Just be sure that the work is of a quality that you would be satisfied with.
