Need help with leather interior

I'm planning on finally doing some stuff to my CL once again. It's been about 1-2 years since i've done anything to it. What I really want to do is work on the interior. First thing is that I want leather. I went to autoleathers.com and am very pleased with their pricing for what I want. The one question that I have is that is it really hard to install the leather interior yourself? They have a kit for $100 to self install it OR $500 to get one of their 1400 stores to install it. Luckily there's a store in my city so I won't have to go far. I'm really debating whether or not if I should shell out the money and get it done properly cuz honestly the seats are an important part of the car. What do you guys think I should do?

Also other things that I plan on doing over the next month.

1) Fix my side mirror (it has been cracked for over 2 years now)
2) Tint my windows. I'm thinking 15-20% all around. It should look great on my black car.
3) New filter for my CAI...i haven't changed it in forever...anyone know a good site to order a new one or get the recharging kit

That should be it, but once I get all this done I'll make sure to put pics up of my car once it's clean and warmer outside

Thanks for your help guys.

EDIT: I was thinking of getting Acura CL embroidered onto my headrests too when I order the new leather interior, that sound good?

I'd pay extra to get it professionally installed! The embroidery idea sounds great.


Good luck with your projects.

just get the acura A. That would look bomb. I always wanted a black leather with black perforated inserts for the doors and armrest as well as the seats. Then get a silver A in it. bling bling!
