          If you can make the drive, I highly recommend Lim's in northern VA. They did all the work for the shop i worked at a couple of summers ago.

              how much do they charge? most upholstery shop are straight up jacking you for cash. Two years ago before I starting doing my own stuff, I asked around and everyone was charging like 40 dollars + a yard for fabrics that can be bought for 10 dollars a yard. Then they charge about 75 to 100 dollars an hour with a 3 hour minimum. a rear deck would easily cost 300 + to do. which is insane.

                      I would not recommend leather on the rear deck but if you do decide to do it make sure you condition it monthly. The sun through the back window is brutal, it will fade and crack. Tint helps though.
