For my car I would like to do my interior just like the one above with the red. How much material did it take to do that and how much did it cost to get done?
Here's an alternative you might consider, although you'd DEFINITELY need to tie this in somewhere else. Ruffled leather. Its really simple actually, but its a very luxurious look. You're basically just doing the same thing but you don't attach the leather smooth and it needs to be like butter if you know what i mean. If i were to do a fabric change (i have an LX so i'd need the correct panels first) i'd probably go with a black and chocolatey-caramel brown suede or leather theme with staggered horizontal bands of black and brown on the doors, seat centers and the console armrest and redo the rest of the car in black or leave it stock grey (though i could sneak some blue stitching in methinks).
