Default Expected price for headliner and seat fix?

I'm about to have to drop some money on getting my headliner and upper section of my driver's seat re-done. The headliner is tearing away around the borders of the t-tops all over, and the driver's seat has a pretty big hole on the left (if you're sitting in it) side where it is raised up so that you rub as you get in. Has anyone had this done that can give me an estimate of around what i will be paying for this? thanks.

i was given a quote for $100 for the bottom of my seat to be recovered. i went to one of the better places around town im sure there are cheaper quotes around. but they said they charge $100 for a section to be recovered. like the bottom center, bottom bolster, top middle.... they did say they recover seats for 300. no clue on the headliner

Well, you can get a brand new headliner for $140 so just keep that in mind...

I replaced my headliner when I was installing my cage. I left it on and got some paint on it and I couldnt stand it so I got it replaced. I took it out and it was simple. Cost me $80.00

Any GM wholesaler (Google GM WHOLESALE as I am not sure any links I have are sponsors) will sell you the whole headliner for about $140 shipped ($80 for the headliner, the rest was shipping)...

Find someone local and it will be even cheaper

The prices will vary alot from shop to shop. In Charlotte the cheapest I could get was like 100 bucks if I take the board out and bring it to them.

However, back home in Lexington, North Carolina there is a shop with a couple old guys that did my headliner (hard top) and re wrapped my visors for 80 total. I had them do the visors so that the could remove those stupid straps and mirrors!

These guys pulled the old liner off, but left the foam on the board and applied the new liner (foam and all) on top of the old. Now my headliner is very soft and thick. It made the sound in the car sound so much better. If you like I could get you a number and maybe you could ship the stuff to him.
