Id even call some wreckers interstate...the freight will be pretty high but i can guarantee it will be cheaper than reupholstering! Id imagine you'd be looking at around the $2K+ mark?

Try this place, they're pretty good with prices!

My cousin did custom leather interior for his BMW E30 M3 and I think he only payed around the same price that's on the website! These guys are good as well and can match any OEM interior specs, trims, etc

Let me know how you go!

Dark leather with the perforated Alcantara inserts look fantastic IMHO.
