    Need to stretch and re-glue my dash on my 458, or have it re-wrapped.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you.

    Before I had my Ferrari, I used to take my cars (Jaguar, Triumph & BMWs) to New Life Upholstery for service, and was very happy with the results. There were always old Ferraris, Maseratis, Rolls, and Bentleys in the shop. Run by a Russian (or some eastern-bloc country) guy, Andrei, who I always felt was upfront with me, and stuck to his (very reasonable) quotes, even when he ended up doing a lot more work than he thought he would to get the job done. Used to be on Venice Blvd, close to Globe Tire, but has since moved to Reseda.

    Rourky in your quote is great !
    Why not use him? I met him in 2018 at the Dino 50th in Maranello and he really has an eye for detail and a passion for Ferrari correctness
    I have purchased carpets and materials from him and am very happy
    He even made heel patterns for our USA Dinos

    Upholsterers to my standards don’t exist in Socal. THE guy I found is in Germany. Justin Placek. Find his Instagram.

    What you tend to get in Socal is above avg. inflationary labor rates and B to B+ quality. I am only looking for A grade.

    What kind of car do you need upholstered? Do you need the entire car redone. Good upholsterers are getting harder to find.

    Oh boy, if one can’t get even something like that done correctly around here, I’m definitely in trouble.
    OTOH, not surprised.

    Thomas Pocius in San Diego is phenomenal, used to do restoration at Symbolic Motorcars including work for Nicolas Cage on his vintage Ferraris.

    If you can find Thomas you’ll be in good hands.
