AU_NSX: For a consumer, it would be cheaper to use synthetic suede over authentic leather, especially automotive grade leather. There are several reasons why we charge extra for suede, here are a couple of them:
1. We buy our leather in bulk, and we buy our suede only when needed; our leather is less expensive for us then our suede.
2. The suede is harder to work with then the leather, which results in more time spent on the kit to make it right, and more cost for us to build it.
In the end, it to cost us roughly $80.00 more to use synthetic suede as opposed to leather when building an NSX kit.
