Best place for Leather Interior?
I am looking to get some things done in my car. I think Redline goods has the best pricing but I am looking for pieces I don't have to assemble just install. I know of DSV and Double D but what else is out there? I want to get a deal on a package price. D-shaped Steering wheel, Auto shift boot and ****, Center console & Parking brake handle and boot.
Thanks guy's!

Both of those vendors have very nice products. I personally went with Vette Essentials - they are not the cheapest, but I think, and this is just my opinion, you would be hard pressed to find better quality materials and craftsmanship. I do not recall VE having a D-shaped steering wheel though.

I'm not familiar with Redline. When I first bought my car nearly 13 years ago, I tried to stay with well known vendors for my interior work. Fast forward a number of years and I decided to try some local hot rod shops for leather work. I was pleasantly surprised to find that several do outstanding work for about 1/2 the price. I just had a custom leather diamond tuck mat made for the cargo area of my C5 by a local shop and it turned out beautiful.

I ended up going with Apsis for my interior after having parts from many different vendors. He's not the cheapest, but the highest quality and will work with you on pricing if you order several pieces at once.

Vette Essentials also covered my sun visors with matching leather.
As to Redline, I never used them on my C5, however I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they offered a replacement, leather covered center armrest cover for my 2002 Acura.
