Default I am not imagining things

A few months back, I was searching the web for new leather and foam for my C5 sport seats and stumbled upon a website that offered to install the leather and foam as well as perform a complete mechanical rejuvenation of the seat for something like $300. They didn't sell the leather or foam, just installed it. I failed to bookmark the page, and now that I'm ready to do the project, I can't find a trace of that outfit no matter how I search.

Does anybody remember seeing anything like that, or am I going crazy?

Anymore info at all? Like maybe the town where they were located? Or even the state? Pretty slender to search with so little to go on. And was that $300 each or for the pair?

Depending on what they would have to do to the seats in terms of repair, that's not too bad a price. It cost me $200 to have my seat covers installed and nothing was wrong with the rest of the seat.
