Suede interior costs?? Hi, I am looking to get my full interior redone. I am going to buy a Corbeau CR1 driver and passenger seat in black suede. What would the price be to get the rest of my interior redone from an interior place? And don't try to convince me to do it myself cuz I have absolutly no idea how to or does anyone else in my family.
Here are all the things i would like to do:
- Driver and passenger sunvisors
- Center console lid
- Rear passenger seats (full seats not just middle)
- Driver and passenger door panels
- Headliner
- Rear hatch and back seat speaker covers (picture below)
- E-brake handle (not a boot)
- T-top sun visors
The price of the suede is 69.00/yard. That price is from the Corbeau website and thats what I will be getting unless anyone elso can tell me the same fabric for a cheaper price and where to get it.
Can anyone tell me how much it is going to cost and the yards needed?

Since most likely you will have an upholstery shop do the work for you, it's best If you have them measure the amount of materials you need.
This way you avoid having to make multiple orders & waiting for shipping while half of your interior Is out of the car.

you are gonna be looking at 5-6 yards of suede needed.
get your seats and take them to a upholstery shop and let them check their samples. chances are they will have the exact same suede used on your seats and will likely get it for cheaper. (if not then at least you are paying the extra $ to a local business instead of a large company)
if you were a bit closer I could help have helped you out. I love doing f-body interiors.
Good luck and post pics when done.

im currently doing alot of my interior in suede and leather. I only had about 400 bucks in material for all the seats, shift boot, and a few other odds and ends (thats leather/glue/ect) included. An upholstry shop is gonna charge alot more than im paying to do the actual work (having a friend do it) but that atleast should give you an idea for the cost of material. Make sure you use Alacantra Suede

dont even bother looking for alcantara suede. only a very few in the U.S sell it. Actual Alcantara is very expensive ($100+yard). there are some places that claim alcantara but is just a cheap immatation hoping that the conusmer doesnt actually know what alcantara is.
most suedes sold in the U.S are a microfiber type faux suede.
real alcantara is water & Stain resistant and Flame retardant.
so for the $400 mentioned above I think you are getting Vinyl and microfiber type suede. with real leather and Alcantara you would be well over the $1000 mark in just materials.

with the quality vinyls that are out there now I would say 1 out of 25 people could tell the difference between vinyl and leather any way.
