Default Anyone know of a good upholstery shop in the VA/MD/DC area? I want leather seats!

I am looking to get rid of my cloth seats. They are just dirt magnets and I am getting tired of it. Has anyone else dealt with a shop in the area that they could recommend for replacing the cloth interior of my car? I have already found a place or two that does Katzkin leather installs. I will be visiting one of those places tomorrow. I am also looking to do some custom embroidery like I have seen on several people's cars in this forum.
Any help would be appreciated.

Default That is an option

I don't know how those feel compared to regular leather seats. I really like that feel. I am willing to shell out some money for this. Personally I don't like the look of cloth anymore.

Default consider the cost of used S4 seats too...

The leather in the S4 is very nice and smooth. The texture is different then that of the 2.8 and IMO nicer.

Default That has been another thought

I am not sure on the costs on that. Especially with the airbag issue. Plus I have heard that the ride height on the seat is not reall adjustable on those. I could be wrong. I need to ride low to the floor because of my height.
