Probably looking between $1500-2000 for a good shop to do it. Seats, carpet, headliner, door panels and dying the interior panels.

I'll have everything done in mine probably in about 2 months except for carpet & seats. I got a price on replacement seat leather & it was around $700 & the carpet is about $230.

Except for carpet & seats I'm only gonna be out about $300.

Default interior

sand all the interior pieces and paint them, carpet you can find pretty cheap, the seats are what is going to cost the most but if you have SOME resources it wont cost 1000$ to do it all

I'll call a shop up as soon as I am back and get a quote because I REALLY don't like having a light interior anymore. I wonder if dying all of it would be cheaper than just replacing it.

Here is a pic of my first 2 rear panels completed. Its Krylon Fusion. I got the idea from another member on here who used it & really liked it. I believe a couple others have too. Next up is the sail panels. I already got my headliner awaiting dye & new black rear seat belts are being paid for this week. Hoping to only have carpet & seats left unfinished within a couple months. Those are the 2 most expensive pieces.

That black looks really good, and the speaker grills actually look ok.

See I'm doing it in an MB so it has to look tasteful and not look tacky haha. Also, I dunno if I would want to do it myself. I really just want EVERYTHING done in black. The panels I think can be done cheap but the carpet and seats will cost me.

Yea, the grills came out pretty good. I had to strip ALL the fabric off the backside, which is a major PITA come to find out. But I think it was worth it. The end result will be sweet.

The best part is the panels keep their stock texture. I think it looks like black plastic with Armoral on it.
