Default Underhood Insulators

I am interested in purchasing a custom underhood insulator for my 97. Has anyone done business with Car Motorsports in Atlanta, Georgia? Their website has some nice products, but I have tried to reach them and only get an answering machine. Would like to know if they are for real or not.

Thanks for your input.

If you arent afraid of spending a little cash... there is a member here that is a supporting vendor that does amazing work. Here is a link to a thread that has some pictures and a link to the website

I have heard nothing but good things about her work and she has a lot of fans here.

ive got a question that that may be going the wrong way, considering the thread--what would be the harm in removing my hoodliner completely? i modified (cut a hole in) my front liscense plate holder cover to allow more cold air (i think) under my hood and the wind has started to frey my hoodliner and it is looking pretty tacky.
any thoughts?

I'd recommend going with PaulaH also. She does excellent work, as evidenced by the number of members that have her artwork on their car.

I just received mine, it took about 2 weeks but it looks awesome. I called them about 7:30 am EST and must have talked for a 1/2 hr to the guy discussing all the options. Everything is embroidered and really looks classy. Will have pics along with new engine dress kit soon.
