Call that retailer. Mine also said $2000 but when I spoke to actual company that did my work it was much cheaper.

This is definitely the SI with the best interior I have seen so far.

I went to Katzhin site and there’s an authorized installer near my house and the same interior would cost $2,000CAN.

Is this real leather or faux leather?

Looks amazing! Did they do your center console as well or did you have that done before?

Also, did that SI logo come with your design or was it an extra option? I looked at their website and they don't seem to have the SI logo on their designs.

I had already had the leather touring trim center console but this came with everything including the center console pieces with leather and red stitching. The SI logo was an extra $20 to have embroidered. I also upgraded from standard leather to premium for an extra $50. Your local shop who installs these should have samples and you can tell them what you want.

$50 for the leather upgrade?
Did they say what kind of leather? I did not see this option in Katzhin site.

Katzkin doesn’t list that much on their site. They want you to go to one of their authorized install shops to get a quote on a custom interior to your choosing. You can choose what style, embroidery, leather type etc you want. I had a choice of standard leather or an upgraded premium leather and it was only $50 more. Only your local area that deals with katzkin can give you the exact figures and let you see different samples supplied to them from katzkin.

To the OP, one day I want my SI to look exactly like yours. What kind of steering wheel is that?

So far, I have replaced the console armrest. I will replace the other 4 armrest trims in the next few weeks. Baby steps! I will then get the front bumper lip and then the red front and trunk emblems.

The OE armrests are such pity. My car is 3 months ago and the door armrests are already fading, Maybe I should not dry the armrests with microfibre cloth. LOL.

The wheel is the Type R wheel. It’s a direct fit. Just gotta remove old wheel and the controls and place them onto the new wheel.

Love this, you sir just convinced me to pull the trigger. My local dealer also quoted me 1200 for the basic black but, I am going to 100% steal this style from you!

Hey man. Have at it. The more the merrier :). Make sure you get them to get the SI logo right.

As long as the seats are modified, is there an option to add lumbar support to the front seats?

I’m more than impressed with the outcome.

Damn you should have waited for the Red transluscent Slammer.... it would have looked sooooo good with the new seats.
