i would find another maxima at a junk yard, and spend a few hours taking out the oem carpet. it's duable, i had to peel back half of my carpet in my old camry when doing 0 gauge amp wire install.
it will take some time, but in the end it's cheaper than paying somebody.
you will have to take the interior apart completely. take the front seats out, the center console, door trim, etc.
getting new leather for the seats is prolly a good idea. i think new leather is always better than junkyard seats.
there are a few threads, some pages back, about a group buy on new leather covers, and pix. doing the seats seems more difficult, and unless you have skillz, a body shop, or interior shop may have to do those.\

All depends how handy he is and how much he wants to spend. I have done all carpeting and redoing the seat although not in maximas. Cost a lot more if somebody else (professional) does it but well, will look professional. One option is do the carpet yourself and either use cover for seats or buy new/used one if budget allows. I have seen good leather seats on e-bay. Good luck.
