I'm starting to think about what I need to do this winter and call it quits on the car. Plus I have some crap taking up space in my bedroom that needs to disappear or go in the car. Thanks.

We just did this in my Z at our shop. Fresh Designs Inc in College Park, MD. We used to just do tint, but we've been practicing and perfecting our fiberglass over the past few months behind closed doors, since we've been doing higher end stereo installs, on the side, for people for a while now.

Oh, sorry, didn't see your post first. I dont know any upholstry shops other than the guy in Leesburg VA who does all the local Ferrari work. And he's pretty pricey. I can get his name and number for you though if you need. He's a tenant in a piece of property we bought a few months ago that will eventually be developed.

Ummm, yeah....that car looks even worse up close in my opinion. Paint is HORRIBLE quality. Orange peel like I've NEVER seen before and he has the widebody on a non-staggered offset. Could be nice, but poorly done and not thought out very well. Just my opinion, though.

Toby, I will be at Nopi. Probably with all the guys as well. Not sure if we're gonna do both days though. 2 days is just WAY too long to be sitting around in the sun at a show. Probably might just do Sunday.

I though show/judging was sat and sun was for just awards? I was planing on going sat to show and not even taking my car sun.

Mike you going out there ?

They did a few of my friends' cars. They specialize in hot rods, but I know they've done a lot of imports. They're in Gaithersburg.
