If you are talking about the air bags in the seat , sure if you do yours in Leather they would use Vinyl on the sides for the air bags

You can still use leather on the seats, just make sure they use the right thread when they sew it together. It has to be slightly weaker than the rest of the thread, so that it gives way when the airbag pops.

I was thinking more along the lines of the ones in the A pillar...the side curtain bags...

That's kind of hard to say because I have a friend that owned a shop and we did it off & on . This interior I have since 2005 , I just redid the whole interior from front to back in Black Carbon Fiber / Solid Orange but this time it is in Vinyl .. Suede was hard to keep clean if on areas where sh.. happens . Cost depends on Material and time price point app $1,500-$2,000 Canuk bucks for Seats , Doors , Headliner , Back Hatch , shifter boot , e-brake boot.
