Just look in the phone book for auto upholstery. I wanteed to have my rear civic seats done in leather w/red stitching and the guy said it would take about a day and 250-300 bucks. its been a while since I talked to him so I cant remember exactly. He said that He wouldnt do the headliner in leather b/c leather tends to stretch in extreme temps. so the headliner would get kinda warped after a while. The reason is, b/c the headliner is cloth glued over some foam. If the leather was really glued down good to the foam and it got real hot, the leather would shrink and pull the foam off the ceiling. That's why they always do suede on Pimp My Ride. Im not really sure about pleather so if anyone wants to try that stuff out, let us all know.
Tha panels you could do with some really good spray glue. If you've ever seen them do it, you gotta put the glue down and S-T-R-E-T-C-H and beat the leather over the pieces from one side to the other until the glue takes hold and keeps it from sliding back. You gotta do it a little bit at a time. Thats how you dont get bubbles. You'd just have to find some big pieces of leather to do the bigger panels.
