i know im about a month late but im new...real leathercomes in a hide and they arnt cheap..unless u get a wholesale discount..your better off picking out a really good vinyl...they have hundreds that look dam close to leather..

and i cant think of any car that comes 100% complete leather.. usually the boxing/sides are vinyl..so u dont have to do all leather...

unless u want too...might as well change it up if u are doing them anyways..

naw usually for wholesale you set up something witha distributer or if your legit....Dont know where your located but.. you can look in your phone book make some calls for pricing...they all kinds of books to check out..factory fabric and such...

ask your friend who is doing the job to give you a total yardage...and if you plan on doing any kind of color change he should know how to add it up correctly...(hopefully)..
