Anyone know other than the dealer where I could order leather seats/door panels/arm rest with the leather for my Mark VI Golf?

Try the vortex classifieds http://forums.vwvortex.com/zeroforum?id=812 or craigslist. You could order a leather cover for the armrest from redline goods.

How would I go about ordering new/original equipment and bypass the dealer? Is that possible?

I'm thinking about this after my fabric gets worn. They already have the 2010 Golf TDI listed.

I'M THINKING "HE MU$T REALLY WANT THE LEATHER". WHEN I DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS, I'M USUALLY HAPPY WHEN IT'S A DONE DEAL.
any idea the "out the door" dollar figure? just curious. often, changes like this end up costing far less than first thought. jp

I've seen Katzskins on other cars and they looked pretty good but if you wait a short while you should be able to find a similar alternative off ebay. The problem with skins is that they usually don't fit as well as OEM. If you if you are a stickler for OEM fit and finish, I would wait for a wrecked car to take it out. Even if you were to take it to a professional for installation it could still have a few small wrinkes.
