Recommended Shop to put Leather in car?

I'm assuming if I go to the the stealership they will charge me an arm and a leg.

Looking for a recommeded QUALITY shop who will do this with good leather. (Seats, headrests as well as door fabric areas)

Looking to pay $750-1000 for the total install.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

actually when i went to the dealer they said they got it done through a place not in house. It came out great! i would suggest calling Honda Dealers and ask for the info of their leather installers

why don't you do the Clazzio seat covers then have someone match your door panels with the material?

Heard mixed reviews about Clazzios...
I was willing to fork out more money for leather anyways.

Anywho just an FYI.. most of the auto upholostery people here in so cal us katzkin leather. Very reputable. The upholostry ppl charge $1400 total with everything. That was waaaay too expensive for my cost.

After some searching online I found a place called autointeriorslive.com that had the 09 Honda Fit Katzkin Leather kit for $668 shipped! (Customized with Black Leather with Blue Stitching) =P

I called the installers and they said it was $395 for the install.

So saved myself almost $400 goin this route.
If you are handy you can try to just try to install yourself too but I dont have the skills for that.

Post pics if you get it done. Been debating on getting seats done in leather. I'm sick of dog hair being a pain in the rear to clean up lol.

if you can get the kit that sewed, you can honestly do it yourself.
