i got a quote for leather, he said 2600 because i would need 4-5 hides
whats the downsides to vinyl compared to leather.
do u have to treat vinyl?
what lasts longer, whats easier to keep clean.
what is tougher and doesnt cut as easy.

geez mate 1200 is cheap...we would do full retrim in leather for about 3000-4000...if u saw wat we went through to trim a car u would agree....u can get the imitation leather which looks the same as leather....in my opinion i hate leather....i trimmed my old sr laser in imitation leather....which is a better type of leather....leather cracks easy as and when it does it will be hard to match the grain and colour 100%....thats y id trim a car in suade

Ive been to see the people that make these, they seem dodgy and tried to force a sale on me, plus the quality of the vinyl they use seemed very crap.
