Default dash board reupholstered???

i have a nasty little 1 inch gash on my dashboard.... right on the corner of the three vents so its easily seen. anyone know of any good upholstery shops in the OC area that will do a good but decently priced job for the dash??? i need my drivers seat reupholstered also...
if i cant find any shop for the dash, i might just end up Flocking it.. see here ---> http://clubroadster.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7185

SCRWS6.. from what ive heard in the past, i figure it would cost alot about $100-$200 less if i just get it reupholstered instead of getting a whole new dash and seat. the seat alone i was quoted $250 total to get it reupholstered which was a great price when i was shopping around.

ROCNDAV.. is that the same kit from walmart? how did it turn out? any chance you can post pics???
