Those ABS headliners ARE awesome! I had a harder time taking the old one out(slightly mangled after I was done). And the fit up is great too.

If you don't have these yet, let me know & I'll send you them, they're brand new.

Besides, they'll look good on "MY" new blue car.... (one can hope, right?) .

Absolutly awesome! After being away from the buick world for a few years I came back to "catch up" and this is what I find first. I'm blown away to say the least. You guys have really gone waaaaaay above what I would have ever expected. Please support these vendors, together they are going to make a huge impact on a someones life really soon.

Seats recovered Awaiting steaming before install

James (Normally our complaint department) 6'-5" Kick boxing champion is now recovering seats for Toys for tots.
James & his wife Bonita Have worked 3 late nights getting these done.
Keep in Mind James works 10 hours plus a day for us.James normally pulls engines out & his wife have been working late to keep the car on schedule.

Tomorrow the console mounts get installed & carpet & seats to follow.
We laid the carpet out for 24 hours to get contour shape.

Thanks again to Mike's Montes for the seat covers
Auto Custom Carpets for the Carpet
James & Bonita for burning the midnight oil to keep the car on schedule.

I guess photo tweaking is something a lot of folks aren't set up for.
If you want to send me any of those to tweak/lighten/crop for display, I'll be glad to help.
I can just shoot them back to you for posting, or however you want it done.
Regards
