I was able to find a "mobile" upholstery guy to some out to the house and install headliner, vinyl top and trim and install carpet for me..

Quoted me $500 for all. I think it sounds like a good deal... thoughts?

He has a very good rep and I have seen some of his work and its top
notch

$500 is a steal, especially nowadys. I would almost pay that much just for the vinyl top, and the headliner is a biatch also...


The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

hes coming to you and doing that all? Yes thats a steal! I would CYA and get things in writing. We took a car to get top put on it years ago. 20 miles round trip to drop off then go back and pick it up. Cost us $350.00. Headliner to get done cost us $200 plus about same mileage with 2 trips back and fourth.

Did you use a gun??? That is cheap, my Canopy top was done at my buddies shop when the car was painted and that was $450. Having the headliner done at the other shop the car is now at and that is $275. Rug is easy but a few hours work for me to do so your making out great.

Sounds fair to me, after you do a few of them, it's not hard work at all... v-tops can be a pain, but headliners and carpets are easy.
