Default reupholstering to leather

I live in Hawaii and I'm having trouble finding a set of leather interior for my car. I'm thinking about having a shop reuphoster my interior. What do you guys feel is a good price to have something like this done? And does anyone know a place in Hawaii that you would trust to do this?

There are a few places that sell full replacements on eBay for our cars. Have you looked there?

2k to 3k easy for a one off custom leather interior. You're better off ordering Katzkin or equal and be several grand ahead.

I have Katzkin in two of my cars and probably going to get more for another. Hands down best aftermarket leather there is.

Don't know about Hawaii but locally in NY I was quoted $200 for front seats each and $400 for back seats Installed.

Look into Katzkin or 6le for some trully custom ones and probably better material.

If you can really get them for under $800 locally, watch the quality, I couldn't find anyone under 3K to do them properly locally.

OP, you can get a kit and install it yourself. If you have some patience its not difficult at all.

Here is a thread of my recent upholstery installation:
