maybe not as intense but you get the idea...

if you guys know of sites, workshops, or know how to plz help me out.

also if you know how much it'll costs that'll be fantastic

For a decent job, no corner cutting, with quality materials..... several $k.

It's a pretty big ask; make absolutely sure you wanna do it coz it will no longer be original, maybe lose $ on resale...

An' it don't make it go any faster!

It all depends on what type of materials you want to use, the quality of the materials, and the quality of the workmanship. For a full job you are looking at MINIMUM 3k.

I know of a workshop which does high end trimming if you are interested. My mate got his 2 front seats trimmed and a leather gear boot custom made and it cost him 880 from there to give you a rough idea of price.

yea there's quite a lot of them in the yellow pages, but was just more worried about the price and the workmanship. i don't mind paying a little extra for better workmanship.

and about the materials, i would like to have leather, but if that turns out to be way too much then i guess other materials. not sure what other materials are available tho...

If you're spending that long in it, wouldnt the several thousand be better spent on either a tele in it, or another cheap run around so you can just drive home instead of waiting around for classes to finish?

o...i was planning to get something similar...not a tv, but a dvd player inside the car...and the thought of having a better interior slipped into my head and yea... was intrigued by the idea.

and about driving around or drive home, its just to far to drive home. and most of our classes are in the morning so shops are not open at that time and by the time they're open, only have bout an hour or two worth of waiting so its just pointless to go. and the afternoon classes normally run for 2hours...my gf has it better though but she just cannot be stuffed driving from subi to the city and find a parking spot just so she can waste 4 hours...
