What Worked,
Mike the Artist/Craftsman and Carol the Business Manager are great
people to work with.
They exceeded my expectations and are very friendly and professional.
I went in with a crazy idea of doing each seat in a different color
(don't ask where that idea came from .. maybe a 60's flashback). Carol
patiently listened to me and said "well ... that's different and we
could certainly do that" and "here's another approach that might look
nice." Of course there suggestion was much better than my crazy idea.
What Didn't Work,
Concerning them ..... nothing.
Concerning me ... I wished I would have taken a little more time to
think though things. Nothing major, just a minor detail or two (see "Do
Diffewrent below").
What I'd Do Different,
The front carpet they installed was actually in three pieces ... drivers
floor, passenger floor and center section. I would have preferred a one
piece carpet (if even possible), but never thought to ask.
Would have liked carpet a bit thicker and plusher. What they installed
was great and what you would expect to see in a vehicle. But I'd like to
have had a heavier, thicker carpet (if even possible) .... but didn't
think to ask.
In Summary ..... I'd recommend them highly.
If you have any questions ..... please feel free to email me.
Not hitting the trail soon enough,
