Leather dash and center console convert to vinyl?

Sadly, some of us live in places where just the shipping on a dash, a console, a set of seats and a set of arm rests to and from PC or RB would pretty much exceed the value of the car. So that leaves us looking for other options.

FWIW I recovered my dash with a sewn vinyl kit from Robert Budd. I was pleased with the result and enjoyed doing it - but it is certainly an unforgiving process for a first-timer like me.
I've since gon on to recover a couple of items in the car.

Don't try DIY on this stuff! I'll do almost anything on my car, but covering in leather is an art. I bought Rob Budd's DIY rear quarter panel leather covers and ended up paying another $250 to a local auto trim shop to have them done right. Since then, I've sent everything out to Rob and it comes back looking perfect. I was able to do the armrest cover myself, but that's as far as I'd go!
What issues did you have to drive you to the local pro?
