$150 including the custom ordered leather. The padding is the best part!

Damn! that is very inexpensive for all that work and leather. Very nice. Just enough to look sweet but not overdone to look tacky.

Thanks Dell. It looks nice in person as well. I couldn't believe the prices and the quality of the work was top notch (when I arrived the owner had his P-car and a nice MB in the shop...so I felt better).

If you had the blue interior you could take 3D pics of your car... wait let me get my 3D glasses!!

I actually rest my elbow on first lip near the top of the door, I would love to put a new leather piece there with that memory foam you find in pillows... that would be sweet.

Real excellent quality leather (better than OEM leather).

The place was called Award Auto Trim (that is their website too).

Thanks all!
