Default Top Replacement Shops (SA)

I've got my new top ordered and due to a move to Indiana that will be taking place soon, I will not be putting on the top myself. Anyone know of a good trim shop that I can go to?

Thanks, but I should've mentioned I'm in SA. If I can't find a good shop here though, I wouldn't mind going to Austin to get good quality work done.

How much would this cost, once everything is done and paid for?

should cost around 500 per the insurance quote. I was going to do the install myself, but I won't have the time.

exactly what happened to your old top? your profile says your car is a 2005, so I am guessing someone cut it.

exactly. Someone knifed the top trying to break in. They weren't smart enough to gain entrance but cut both sides trying to get in.

That's terrible. If it were me, I would almost feel less upset if the would be thief wasn't a total moron. Instead, this event not only enforces the idea that people don't respect other people's property, but also the idea that they are stupid as well!!

Hopefully it will be repaired quickly and it will be like it never happened.

Yeah, I was pissed off that I had to be hit by an "idiot" thief that didn't even know what he was doing. he cut the back of the top, I guess he was thinking the door locks were in the standard place (back/top section of the door).

Well, got the top in today from Hardtopguy.com. I'm going to get an install done next week and I'll post feedback about the shop up here for any SA members reference.
