We are at 650.00 for CM 6 point. That may go up soon as material cost has gon up. Mini tubs start at 500.00 and go up from there. Depends on how much tub work you want.

That does not include the carpet or paint. We can do that for a few bucks more.

Paint and carpet you can do yourself. I've helped my buddy, get some boat paint, and brushes, Some Ozite carpet will make the car look sick and be the lightest avalible.

We're out of Baton Rouge. Might be a little easier for you to get to us. Give me a call at the shop and i'll get you quote on all the work. Shop number is in my signature.

The boat paitn I used is an epoxy urethane, and is pretty durable stuff. With the exception of where the window net bar hits the side bar, it's really not even scratched.

PITA to do with the brushes, but for the most part it came out pretty good.
