Default Custom interior work in DFW

I just had a rollbar installed and mini-tubs done on my car and reinstalled my interior. The installation looks ok, but I would prefer to have someone professionally make a new rear carpet for me to accomodate the bar and tubs. Any good referrals for this type of work? I have contacted a local stereo shop already, but the price/labor seemed a bit much.

Try talking to Keith Overturf at Huffines Plano. They have a shop (3rd party) which installed my new ragtop. Maybe they can do interiors too :cheers:

Dee Trim in East Plano is the shop Huffhines uses, I have also used them for some custom interior work on other cars and they did a great job at a fair price.

Thanks, I talked to Earkmark on Parker in West Plano and they seem a bit pricey for everything. They want 160 bucks for an Optima Red Top and said that dyno matting the car would be about 1000-1200 dollars. :eek:

Thanks for the referrals, I will give them a call. :cheers:

I got several strong recommendations for The Car Stereo Store (Greenville @ Caruth Haven) last summer. I didn't have them do any work for me but maybe they're another option to consider.

Are you pleased with Lou's work otherwise?

Yes, LGM did a great job on the installation of the rollbar and the mini-tubs. I reinstalled the interior myself - I dropped the car off at LGM without the interior. I had already removed it and was planning on putting in a Speedworks rollbar myself, but ended up having LGM put a bar in. Althoug h it's not finished yet I may post a few new pictures. I still need to have a custom rear carpet done, install the 5-points and convert to Sport Seats.

I've had work done there. Talk to Andy if you go by there. He drives the black LT1 Z28 with Fikse FM5's. He is :cool: and he does great work! :cheers: That shop will be doing my stereo install on the C5 soon as well.

I saw an article on this guy recently in the dallas morning news. Showed him working on a 64 GTO Ferrari. 1 of 3 known in the world. 1M+ automobile. Said Ferraris are his specialty and he has had his shop since the 80's. Pretty interesting.
