I had mine done by Umbra in Schaumburg. There were a couple things that I had to have him touch up afterward, but I am overly picky and notice things that most people wouldn't even see are there. Others have gotten theirs done there and have been satisfied.

Hey Tin, Thx for the update. Just wondering if he came to your house or did you get it done at his shop?
