[QUOTE=HRBS;199773]You need to compare apples to apples to make this statement.
This kit is a great kit... however :
-no seats
-no material
-no labor to wrap
-no carpet
-no gauges
Add all that up and it IS comparable to an "interior custom made by some shop that would bend you over".
Yes, I know that if you hand your car over to an interior shop with no dash, no front or rear door panels no headliner no dash insert parts, no headliner. and said "I want you to build me fiberglass door panels that look cool and are multidimensional (not flat 1/4 inch plywood rig crap) I want you to build from scratch a dash after I take mine completely out and make something totally different that bolts in. I want a billet insert for my gauges and a billet glove box with custom hinges and nice A/C vents and I want a new speaker shelf to match as well as a one piece headliner that shows no seems when installed. That I would have a bigger bill from them rather than the one I would have bringing them the parts to install and wrap. Also, this hobby is full of people that would do it themselves including me. The parts on the car people saw at SEMA were wrapped by a non interior guy, and I know that material and 3m spray adhesive don’t cost that much. I think taking everything you say not included in the kit and applying that to a custom interior in a shop and yes it still would be cheaper, and who knows about the quality.
