Best Source for Interiors?
What are the best aftermarket catalog sources for C3 interiors? Focusing on the entire dash, console and doors, so is there anyone who offers a complete kit price (e.g. entire dash, minus the gauges, as one $$$)?

i did a full dash cap and dyed my old interior black. it wasnt torn or anything, that's why i chose to salvage the old stuff. 150 for the cap and maybe 50 bucks in dye. I'll do a new interior some other time. just throwing options out there.

I stayed with 1 source when buying my interior. CA, the problem is, hardly any of the dye finish matches from part to part! 
That's not a slam, just an honest feedback. The console pieces don't match the dash pieces, thank goodness the lt and rt dash matches each other. The worst was my door pulls, not even close to matching the rest of the interior. The dye sold, ( paint) matches nothing. I had some paint mixed locally to try and match the original back half of the interior, to the all new front half. It's closer than what CA sells.
It's a shame that the vendors cannot offer a complete interior package all using the same dye lot. When you spend thousands of $$$ trying to make your car like new, and have to deal with off colored parts, it's disheartening.

I was lucky enough to be stationed in El Paso, TX which is just down the road from the Al Knoch shop in Canutillo, TX. I purchased and they installed a complete interior. It came out great. I've very happy with it almost 3 years later.
