New Interior!
Finally Got almost everything done with my interior. I got a cover set from ebay. I am waiting on new center console cover and door handles. It came out pretty good too. I paid 230 for the kit and 400 for the guy to install. There are few wrinkles but its mainly from sitting on it. I need to get some Lexol to soften it up a bit.
Here are a few quick pictures I just took.

I guess its better than ripped seats... but the color doesnt match at all =(. And I think you could of did it yourself to save money.
I think for 600 bucks you could of got black seats and rear seats from someone parting their car.
Still its better than ripped seats =), but I would of held my money for something more.

Yah I was so pissed about the color and couldn't really do much. Just my luck, but hopefully the matching will get a lil closer once the console and arm rest come in. I dont think I would of done a better job, upholstery not much my thing. I wish I could of spent less but everyone in My area is soo much money!!! This was the cheapest guy everyone else was like 750!!!!WTF

325 is a really good price!!!! Are they redoing everything, using a kit or from scratch. I really wish I didnt live in such an inflated area for any car work

Yeah i bought the leather seats from lc-0801. like $250 also in black leather with perforated centers and red double stitching. My guy installing them said he would fix them if needed so it would come out nice. San diego has great deals for alot of stuff being so close to mexico...

Vinyl interiors needs to make a comeback.
My interior restoration was like 500 dollars, and even then it wasn't perfect. Get Lexol and apply it once a week to help prevent the leather from falling apart.
Despite the color, your seats look really nice.

Cant really compare a vinyl product to a 100% leather product. Thats why its so cheap haha! I would have real leather a lil bit off in color than a perfect Leatherette vinyl seat any day . vinyl makes it feel like a Hyundai
