Default Upholstery Shop - headliner & seats?

Hi, do you guys know any good upholstery shops (preferbly near 626 area) that can do my car's headliner in black suede or alacantra?

If for a good price, I might consider reupholstering all my seats too.

So 2 questions:
1. What's the estimated cost (from your experience)
2. What shop do you recommend (good quality and fair price)

I'm also interested in a good shop located nearby. I have a pretty clean '93 LS, and would like to address some small issues I've found with the leather interior (a couple of seams starting to split, some minor cracking).

I'd like to know this as well, I'm looking at getting my front and rear seats re-upholstered in tan cloth like that of xxKNOWONExx's SC.

I do know of Thornton's Auto Upholstery in Santa Ana, but I've never been there, I only know of 'em by way of google searching.

I believe FX auto which is a vendor does headliner work.

Not sure if you were able to check out my car, but Top Stitch in el monte did my seats. They re-wrapped both front and rear in black leather, perforated black leather centers, and red stitching. I still have to go back to have my ebrake boot done. I forgot the exact price, but i think it was around 1800.

they charge me $750 headliner ,pillars and trunk.but that was a group buy last year.you don't have to leave your car there. they took out the pieces.and wrapped them. and installed it back when they are finish.less than a week.so no worried about leaving you car there 4 a couple of days.
