Alright folks, I did the legwork so you didn't have to I contacted 3 auto upholstery shops in the area and got some quotes. I requested stock style with color change only (same color stitching, non-perforated). For the seats, it's consistently $1300 for all shops. If I want to add center console and door inserts, the prices start to vary quite a bit.That would make total sense. Let us know how much they cost so we can see how much tsport is marking them up.
Shop 1
======
Seats - $1299
Center Console - $60
Door Inserts - $50-100 x4
-----
Total: $1559-1759
Shop 2
======
Seats - $1295
Center Console - $165
Door Inserts - $125-155 x4
-----
Total: $1960-2080
Shop 3
======
Seats - $1299
Center Console - $150
Door Inserts - $95 x4
-----
Total $1,829
Fortunately, the least expensive shop (#1) actually have done a bunch of custom upholstery work a couple of years ago for my Audi R8 V10, and they did an excellent job. I've verified that the same upholstery people are still there, so I'm pretty sure I'm just going to go with them again.
In summary, it's $1300 installed for Katzskin (with 3 year warranty) vs $2800 ($2000 seats + $50 shipping + $750 install) for TSportline for just the seats.
