Actual snippet of a conversation from Sept 2013:
Me: Eddie, I can't wait to get the car back when you're done with it.
Eddie: Yeah, you'll be able to give the car gas, and it won't be - like - embarrassing....

Not bad at all, Cameron - do you guys strip the vinyl and everything like David T mentioned above or is it just leather wrap right over the top? Do they tend to fit well in the dashboards?

They get re-finished before getting covered. So no cracks show. They fit great.

Generally about a week here (Midwest). Note that this is apparently not done at Houston, only CA and MW that I'm aware of.
Pricing isn't necessarily consistent either.

Awesome! NExt winter, mine is coming to one of you. I saw JoshQ's recovered binnacle today - it looks AMAZING.

It does look great! They did an excellent job via DMCMW. I was too impatient to wait for new DMC versions to come out. I'm very happy with it so far. I'll post hi res pics of it soon. Its on my Facebook page. Thanks again Dave and Julee S!

Yeah, for $375 I'm in for that. I'll be sending out shortly, and making contact. Thanks for the info.
