Here's an option...

Went down a similar road 2 years ago.  Wanted to redo the coupe's interior. 
 Purchased a 54" bolt of gray herringbone fabric (noll/knoll?) similar to 
Audi's ($89) from a commercial fabric supplier.  Stripped out the interior and 
took the seats and panels into a local automotive upholstery shop.  They 
recovered everything and even included the piping on the seats and panels, 
reused the imitation chrome stripping and rebuilt the seat cushions...$625.  If 
I had just dropped the car off, I think the price he wanted was around $2k.
