I've sent them 2 emails over the past 3 weeks and tried to call them too but am not having any luck reaching them. I want them to do the interior of my GX but I can't get a hold of them? I'm taking that as they don't need / want the business? Must be nice....

Can anyone recommend another shop for hydro-dipping?
