I'd say 350 for pillars, plastic, and headliner / visors

then like 800 for seats

and uh...i dk about the dash and panels, that'd be a good thing to know

im doing the same thing as you, except for the seats. Just do alot of it your self. Save u some cash. Paint some stuff ur self and just have them do the seats and headliner

Upholstering the headliner isnt too difficult but requires some time.

1. Spray denatured alcohol onto the factory headliner matieral in small sections and start to peel up the material. This part takes awhile, just make sure to peel up the cloth and not the fiberglass.

2. Purchases suede with a backing on it, or else the glue will seep through the suede

3. Use good spray adhesive and work your way from one end to the other, rubbing yur hands across the material and applying pressure. Make sure to sprray spray the glue on the headliner and the suede.

4. Make sure the material is set down nice and taught and make sure you put glue on all areas.

5. My headliner came out perfect, but after awhile I got a few sags here and there. I used 3m 90 Adhesive, so I would find some spray glue that is slighly stronger than that brand.
