classic soft trim in hayward or coach automotive in union city. Both do a ton of dealership work. Both get top reviews. I'm going to check out soft trim for heated and ventilated seats. Other shops are usually hotrod oriented.

yeah ive seen ONE car with it. cant find the picture but it was a red gt86

and it was pretty sweet..

and i know leaky roofs are common with this, thats why i need a GOOD place. I'm not looking to save money for this project. I'll pay top $ if it means itll be done right honestly.

edit: found it, some random fr-s

It'll probably leak eventually, even with a really good place. Time to buy a Miata.

Seriously, though, call the two shops I listed. They both do tons of work for dealerships.
