Name of Interior Upholsterer in FL

I've heard there is a spectacular interior upholsterer in FL that I think is called "The Queen" or something like that. All I know is people rave about her work. Can someone please supply the name and post a link to her website? Thanks!

Is correct, but Her name is "Princess" and here's a link to her site.
= http://www.lethalinteriors.com/
All of her work is beautiful but I'm more interested in the seats.
Scroll down to "seats" and take a look.
Very impressive .

Re: Name of Interior Upholsterer in FL

She did my covers last winter, and as for reference, I've had 3 GTA/Ultima seat sets done before. She is, by far, the best at making upholstery sets for these 3rd gen seats.

She's a great communicator via e-mail or phone and although may seem pricey, she really isn't much more than 10-15% higher than katzkin but still less than Jax. But the attention to detail in stitching, fit, quality of materials is easily 50% better than ANYBODY else out there.

I had to color match my leather to the interior plastic(s) and she must have sent 3 or 4 packets of samples for me to choose and ponder over. She was very patient with my fussiness .
I have yet to read a complaint about her work. If I had a complaint it would be that I didn't find her years ago when I restored my first 3rd gen interior, but that's my fault.

Remember" the bitterness of poor quality lingers long after the sweetness of low price fades"

Re: Name of Interior Upholsterer in FL

My personal experience has been that it is cheaper for me to buy most any aftermarket seats than to pay an upholstery shop to recover and repad the seats. People choosing to have theirs done in an upholstery shop, have you found the opposite? How much did you pay for your fronts to be done and why choose that over aftermarket seats? Not looking for an argument just wondering. Two local upholstery shops wanted several hundred $ just to recover the rear seats.

One local shop told me $500 for just the rears in cloth. I may look into this cover girl for the rear set.

Re: Name of Interior Upholsterer in FL

I too was on the fence about reupholstering my seats or just going aftermarket. I ran across a thread that had a link to her site and checked it out. After seeing her work it was a no brainer for me. I like the style of our seats and the custom flair you can add to them is worth the extra $. Recovering them wasn't hard just time consuming but you get that bit of pride doing some of the hands on.

Beautiful seats and look at that stitching. The attention to detail is amazing.
