Default New All Vinyl Interior with Leather Seats

Just delivered this 88 S4 to the customer last week. All the interior panels, dash, console, pod, doors, etc. were redone in burgundy vinyl. Only the seats are leather. Carpet is German Sliverknit, one of my kits done in house.

Steering Wheel is a 928 "RS" Sport Steering Wheel - Genuine Porsche 993.347.084.80.8YR from 928 Specialists.
The customer preferred a conservative sound system and chose a Blaupunkt Bermuda with Kenwood Speakers. I don't normally do sound systems, but this was a simple install since the console and original wiring wasn't hacked up by the PO.

Wow, that looks great for Vinyl. I thought you needed Leather to get such a good look.

That looks beautiful! I installed one of Rob's sliverknit kits last fall and it makes the car look (and smell) like new. If one wanted to do some of the recovering labor himself, is vinyl easier to work with than leather?

Is the door panel upper and armrest pricing per door or for a pair? Also, can you straighten a warped door panel, or do you need to start with a straight example?

It can be at times. It depends on the panel being covered but as a general rule,
if the covers are tailored properly, both leather and vinyl should go on like a fine pair of gloves.

Its for the pair.

Often door panels can be straightened with steam and clamps. If the warping is real bad and/or combined with rotting, and cracks, it would be more cost efficient to buy a good set.
