Thats right mate, you have to be careful,I have seen "leather" kits available for BA falcons for around $3500 from very respected trim shops and they are infact leather/vinyl. You should be able to get first grade leather for around that price fully installed,you have to be very careful,$3500 is alot of money to spend on cheap crap leather. |

Can't help but think it would look "not quite right"! I bet they pumped hours into each seat to get it looking right before the photos.

go for this instead
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/FORD-BA-XR6-L...QQcmdZViewItem My bro got the VX SS set for his old VY. Its pretty good. Leather felt and looks good. He ended up paying just over 1k after getting the door trims re trimmed at a shop. Brand new leather interior. Looked good and smelt even better.

Yeah, I saw them. Thats the same sort of deal though isnt it? I'll need regular BA ones though (which he has) but only with the seats included. I'll have to see how much just the covers are... shall be interesting.

I had a custom two tone Italian leather interior done on the Probe (not an easy job) for A$1,800; so this does appear to be expensive.
