It depends on the material you need, is it just the console lid?

if its just the lid i bet his labor would be pretty damn cheap. Either way send me a picture and i will go talk to him about it.

Ok just got back from talking to him.

If you want to replace it with the same exact leather its not gonna be cheap, if he can find a 1/2 yard of the Chrysler stuff in your color, itll run at least 100$ for that. That is IF he can find it in that color.

Now if you chose to do it in vinyl, they make it an all colors and textures you can think of, it would look exactly the same and it would be much much cheaper. Vinyl runs around 30$ a yard. He can match it perfectly that way.

Now he also said that if there is enough material in the factory lid, it is POSSIBLE that he could take the seams out and move the material over enough to cover the rip. He wont know that until he starts to take it apart.

He also said labor would be cheap around 20-30 bucks since its a simple job, he did my lid when he did my whole interior so he knows how it all works.

I would personally do the vinyl, they make some vinyl stuff that is nice and thick and unless you told someone, i dont think they would ever notice the difference. Leather is frickin expensive nowadays.

OK Daniel you just gave me some things to think about. Ill get some ideas and figure out where ill go from here. Under 100 bucks would be amazing!
