I love the appearance, texture, and smell of the interior in my Arctic Silver/Red leather '99s. If it was damaged, I would replace it as original. They are street-driving cars and are pampered a bit.
My Black/Black 2000 S leather dash has a bit of peeling. It's going to get the vinyl dash out of my parts car, or get skinned and coated. It's a toy and I don't care if it presents a pristine appearance. It's being rebuilt for driving fun, and will be beat on.
Nothing wrong with vinyl and it holds up a lot better with less care. Just not the same aura as leather.

That is a very good question. It is my toy. I like to tinker and am not trying to win a concourse with it. I want it to look nice, but I don't want to spend a whole bunch trying to get it to showroom.
The $1600 leather one is out of the question. There is another leather one that has some sun damage and is going for $225. A vinyl one will be around $200. Redoing mine with vinyl would also be about $200.
