i heard of a guy in BMORE who does CF work on the side and really cheap. He rolls with the honda crew. I saw his work on a integra and it looks great. Interior pillars were done,headliners,door panel inserts,hatch and other things.

I called Fresh and they wanted a lot to do the seats. I rather drive to Tampa FL and get this all done then to pay crazy prices.

FYI, They don't specialize in seats nor do they really have the capacity or machinery in house to properly do them so they were probably outsourcing. Interior panels and headliners are much easier to do. I did mine myself in my apartment the first time. Second time I got lazy and had them redo it all.

Bert. Doug is still the owner but keeps mostly to tint. Chris and Jeff do all the electronics.

And FWIW...$400 for suede inserts on a seat isn't bad when you know all the labor involved tearing it down, ripping the stitching and then restitching the seat and reassembling with fresh clips.
You get what you pay for. Im not sure if you seen any interior work on those southern "Donks" but it is total garbage on some of the simplest paneling and cushioning to do.

I have another guy who does amazing interior and fiberglass work in the Rockville area. He does full custom hot rod interiors so his price is going to be slightly higher most likely but I just shot him a txt msg to see what he can do on headliners for you guys.

Default UPDATED PRICING for Suede Work

Alright guys. I just got of the phone with my good friend Rob Whealon (owner of the new shop Wheel-N-Customs) and he's willing to offer some special pricing for you guys for interior work. He JUST started his own business on his own so these prices will probably only last while he is starting out.

Here's his website: http://wheel-n-customs.com/index.htm (this site is new and not yet finished as this is a new business venture)
His phone number is: (301)675-1230

THESE are ALL base prices for BLACK "faux" suede. (Its a microfiber suede)
Other colors and/or materials are subject to price change based on market cost.

Headliner: $350
Headliner plus Visors: $400
Headliner plus Visors plus A pillars: $450

Suede inserts: $600 for the pair.


Once again....these are DISCOUNTED BASE prices based on black microfiber faux suede.

In order to get these you MUST tell Rob you are from this forum and give your screen name.

Hope that helps guys. I've personally known Rob for years and he is one of the nicest most trustworthy guys I know. He stands behind his work, does some GREAT work and has just taken the leap going out on his own after doing this as side work while working for another Mid-A shop that is family owned. I hope some of you give him the chance to work on your vehicle as . If you would like to see what he's currently working on just ask him since most of his updated projects aren't yet on his site (including the completely custom hot rod interior he's about to complete).

I just did my headliner with the micro suede and with professional glue and the materials was like a $100. I had enough to do 2 G sedans and 4 pillars with that. Save the money and do it yourself. 350z headliner is so small compared to a G sedan.

Dont be intimated

I can post where I got it and the proper glue if your interested.
