Default Leather upholstery shops
Does anyone know of any custom upholstery shops in the area that would do leather covering? I'm thinking about re-upholstering my center console.

Go see Mr Lim on Tyco Road - Lims Custom Uphostery.
He is a master, and works for a fair price.

I just came back from An's in Gaithersburg. He installed a pelican seat kit with new foam for $150.00. The work appears satisfactory. 16632 Oakmont Ave, 301 330-9493. Zip (for map quest) 20877.

It is glued and stapled through the plastic. PITA to recove if you're not used to doing that sort of thing. I started to do mine and quit when I decided I like the no console look better .

Chris and Pari, I saw a sign for upholstry on the side of Quince Orchard road near the pool with the bubble.
I think it's the guy's house. They've been there a long time. Have you ever seen it? or used them?
