Cool Upholstery Shop Recommendation needed - near Batlimore MD

I need a new convertible top for my '88 (looks just like the avatar pic). Any recommendations in the Baltimore MD / Wash DC area would be appreciated. GS Auto Upholstery in Millersville quoted me $1700 which I thought was pretty high. Thanks in advance for any info.

He seemed like a nice guy, and very knowledgeable, but $1700 is big bucks for a roof. Just trying to see if anyone had another suggestion (hopefully with a good experience)...

Thanks!

Dave, the owner, replaced my top for about $900. That was about 7 years ago, so the price is probably higher now. (410) 848-7195

unless they're remodeling and reopening under a new name, they're closed.
