Depends on what route you want to take. If you personally want to remove your interior and take it to a local upholstery shop you can save a few nickels. You'll need an A&P to sign for the actual recover work and the W&B correction but all other work can usually be signed off under prevent mx by you provided you don't need to disconnect flight controls, etc. to remove/install the interior. It was the preferred method for my owner-assist clients.My 4 seat Mooney is getting long in the tooth and I’m curious what people typically pay for interiors - be they leather or not.
I happen to have a used Airtex Mooney m20c interior available if you’re interested…..
Probably still have that citrus clean smelldo the seats need cleaning?
Very nice looking. If I can only figure out how to do similar for my Archer for less. Who/where was this done?$7500 years ago…
I got my carpet samples from SCS from a year ago. How much work was it to install the carpet, if you did it yourself?Did my Cherokee interior just over a year ago. Well, not the entire interior - the leather seats were (and still are) in "as new" shape so I kept them. Other than that, redid everything else. Spent about $2,500 parts and labor. The biggest ticket item was the "hat rack" bulkhead. I bought the side panels used from TAS but honestly, they looked like new and were the exact color I wanted (really modern looking blue/grey). I bought the matching blue carpet new from SCS. The white headliner was still good after cleaning it so I ended up not replacing it. Other little items here and there were plastics (arm rests, knobs, etc.) that didn't add up to much.

Yes. But not all providers are equal. In my experience, you don't always get a 100% fit with pre-made covers due to the variances in seats and in some cases the underlying foam. If its your only economical option then its the next best thing. However, in the past we've removed all the seats, headliners, etc. and brought them to a shop for a "custom" fit. If you take them to a CRS shop then all the work can be signed by you per prevent mx except any EWB changes if applicable.Is that a thing for aircraft.....Getting pre-sewn seat covers and DIY install?
