Sweet man. I have a lot of prep work before I do that. Is the place called Shag Burns? That is about the only place I know of.

Shadburn's, 478-757-1919, 3760 Woodfield Dr (off of Mercer U. Blvd, at the light near Capitol Cycle & VDub Central)
They just did the headliner and visors in my Ford truck with some Audi-like flat-knit, it turned out awesome. Felix had his Passat done last fall, turned out really good too.
Hey rolph05, I might need to you respray the clear on my trunk, it bubbled up in three spots yeasterday and started flaking off. I'm not surprised though.
How much were they? I am looking to redo all the seats in my car.

All together, it was about $240 for my SuperCrew. I'm having the leather cleaned at Automotion next week for ~$200. They also quoted me Katskinz leather all around for ~$900 for solid color.
I paid $170 for the carpet from Auto Customs Carpet on ebay, was very nice, came quick, and the color I chose was exactly what I wanted.
i thought you wanted hot pink for your carpet adam?

It was a bet to get Stephanie on the Motorcycle... I'd have done the purple carpet, but she wouldn't consider it unless I went hot pink. I just didn't trust that she'd acctually do it, and I don't want to puke every time I get in the truck!
I think I ended up with Graphite or Charcoal... it's really dark grey anyway.
So how about a good shop to look at my frame. I think its a little bent from a prior owner.

The only frame shop i know of is in ATL. E30M3 for the paint just let me know a few weeks before you are ready. Adam will have to get with you and take a look if it is not to bad we might be able to scar the clear and redo the clear only, hopefully. Shadburn's is going to do all 4 seats in leather, headliner, door panels and carpet, visers for about $2k.

Hopefully that's all it needs. I might just rattle can it, I don't really care enough to put much $ into it.
Harrison's is the best body place in Macon, call and ask if they use somone or do their own frame work.
