Default LS430 leather dash upgrades...

Anyone have any idea what it would cost to replace my plastics (console, glove box, dash and door panels) with the leather ones from a CL or UL? I am thinking it might be cost prohibitive but thought I would ask. Has anyone else done this?

If you can find a good set used, the parts would be fairly cheap. New parts would be VERY expensive. The installation would be very costly and most likely you will never get everything fitting correctly. You will have dash rattles and creeks that you will be chasing forever. The other option would be to find a good upholstery shop that specializes in this type of custom work and have them recover what you already have. That will allow you to pick what ever you want, from the color to the stitch pattern. It also be brand new.
