No, probably just stuff that the shop can get a hold of, what they can work with. Things like the door panels and the storage bins might have to be sourced out from a dealer of a salvage yard, though.

I'm kinda in the process of this myself right now, but I'm doing it myself. Bought a brand new front black carpet (never been used) off a forum member because he decided to go a different route and didnt need it anymore for 60 bucks, I couldn't believe the awesome deal I got! Then I bought the rear carpet and strut tower covers off another member. Bought the black headliner, black sun visors, and black center console from another guy and am still looking for some black door panels. As for the rest of the panels in the car, I took those out and dyed them with "Duplicolor Vinyl & Fabric Color" in black, it was really simple and they turned out great. All I have to do now is pull my dash to install the carpet, and while the dash is pulled I'm going to dye it black as well. I already have black racing seats, so after all that I'll have a full black interior 
Why are you going through a shop? Just curious, is it because you don't want to do it or you don't trust yourself or what? I thought it was going to be a lot of work but it's actually turned out to be simple. Total cost I've spent so far on dye/carpet/couple interior pieces, basically everything I need except the door panels, has been about 220 dollars after shipping and everything. Doors shouldn't be too much more, so I'm really happy with that cost, especially because my front carpet is brand new and my rear carpet is in EXCELLENT condition. It did take me a while to get the carpet, but I just stalked the for sale/wanted section and emailed/pm'd everyone that was parting out cars with black interiors until I found a good rear carpet for a reasonable price. It is going to be a lot more expensive if you have a shop do all the work for you, and then more for buying new interior pieces/panels. No clue on what a shop would charge, but I would imagine a lot since they'd be installing it all.
