Need some auto help

[Ink]

Can someone point me in the direction of a good vendor that does interior work? I am looking to replace the carpet in my WS6, I have found some kits online that are all around $300, does anyone know of anyone or any vendor (I looked at the list, just don't have the time to click each vendor and see what their shop specializes in) that can get me a new carpet installed?

The other issue is I need a painter. I posted a thread in the paint and body section, but that's a pretty dead section. If any of you know a painter you would recommend that would paint a pre-primered bumper for a 2007 Kia Optima in a factory gray color, I would appreciate it. I text Jason (from the paint and body recommendation) but didn't get a response. Thanks guys.

I think this question would be answered better over at www.ls1tech.com

I joined LS1tech, but I'm looking for a local painter or upholstery place, not a general website to order a carpet from.

there is a shop in St. Pete that does interior stuff.
Off of central. They specialize more in the custom leather stuff, but I know they can do the rest of it.

Beyond that, you'd be looking at going to the dealership, which, if you don't have the tools/know how to pull everything out yourself to replace the carpet then bolt it all back together then that might not be such a bad option. They should know how to pull it all apart without breaking it. and I'm sure they have the nice little specialty interior tools that make all the difference in a job like that.

As for paint, unless you are looking for it to be 100% correct, un noticeable, like it never happened, then you might just consider doing it yourself. They sell those color match spray cans at the part's store. I've had some good luck with those getting the color "close enough" If you knew what you were looking for, you could see the difference, but from a few feet away, you would never know.

Place on central is way over priced, but did a good job on my old door inserts.

Three interior shops I have used in the past, but I think most will just order the same kit you would but charge you more for it and to install it.
