leather wrapping dash/door panels

Im curious as to the cost involved in wrapping the dash and door panels in leather/suede/etc. Just doing the center stack looks a bit "off" to me. Id like to see a "complete" interior reworked.

Do you have any pics? I did a search and sawa a few things for doors, but not the dash. I assume that means its expensive and not a lot of folks have done it.

So whats it cost? and of course, is there a cheaper way?

Dash is around $2K, Door Panels $1K a piece, etc ... Depending on what you do, expect to pay around $10K for the entire interior.

I'm pretty sure Caravaggio does the whole thing. It's expensive as hell though.

Caravaggio does complete leather interiors where no part is not covered. They look fabulous and expensive as they are. Last time I asked it was over $12,000 for an interior that was amazing. Better than any production car you've ever seen. Not in my budget. LOL.
