I heard good things about golden too. So I think I'm going to try them to do my new door cards. Whatever you do don't go to PUC upholstery they totally suck their workmanship is halfazz. I totally regret going there the first time I should have gone to golden. Another place I heard things about is Freds auto top. I've gone to them but only to fix my car cover. Keep us posted man.

the guys over at golden upholstery actually told me to let the car sit in the sun to allow the new leather to tighten up.
his reason was that if i used a heat gun, and held the heat in one spot for too long, the leather will burn, discolor, over dry and crack, or fade.
also you'll need some tools to remove and reinstall your seats.
i don't really have a good picture of my interior, but here's one for you to look at.
factory leather was black, with black perforated leather inserts. new leather is black with silver perforated leather inserts.
i'm gonna do the door inserts next.....

all i used was a wire cutters to cut the hog rings off the factory leather, razor knife to cut in the head rest posts, fold down release, airbag impact sensor, and some other stuffs, and a hog ring tool to install your new leathers.
