I doubt it. Considering the level of work that goes into something like that, I think that's a very fair price.

a local upholstery shop quoted me $350-400 to recover my steering wheel, so this guy is VERY reasonable!

do you guys know if those 3 spoke firebird wheels will fit on a camaro?

i like those better than all other 3rdgen (and 4thgen) wheels except the wheel on my 92, but those always peel up in the same spot if you live in a sunny area, i dont want to deal with that ever again

Just about any GM wheel will fit. The Firebird wheel will certainly fit, but it looks a little stupid with the phoenix on the horn. A buddy of mine put one on his IROC, but then I think he made a new horn piece and incorporated the Camaro crest. I recall it looking very good, though I still preferred the stock wheel, and eventually he put the stock one back on too.
