Default Custom Interior for my Callaway CR1

I'm Thinking about doing a full leather interior in my Callaway CR1 Aerobody. e.g. Leather dash, doors and enhance the current steering wheel. In essence anything that is plastic I want wrapped in leather. Does anyone out there know an excellent Upholstery shop. I know about Caravaggio but thier in Canada too far. I would prefer any place local (East Coast) as I am in New York.

DSV did a custom steering wheel for me, came out great. I would go to the Northeast section of the forum to find a shop on the E-coast. Keep us posted on how you make out.
There was a good thread several years ago about a guy who did his whole C4 interior in leather. It was killer lookin and he did it himself. Some of the air vents had to be trimed to compensate for the thickness of the leather.

Thanks for all the leads, a fellow C4 owner linked me in to a local gentelman (1 man shop) that can do all the work at the quality level of Callaway. I hope to have the work begin in February. My red interior is in mint condition with practically no wear it's the doors, dash and other plastic stuff that bother me not being leather wrapped. I just feel the stock looking interior just doesn't do the rest of the CR1 justice.

It's possible it fit like that before the leatherwork!
