Porschenut - I had that thought too. I'm sure that sparco must be able to make certain sections of the correct material available to body shops for various reasons, and this detail shop also has a body shop. And yeah, i did bring the car in with stains on the sparco seat, but the stains did not destroy the texture and integrity of the material. So, i had planned on taking it somewhere else that has more experience with Alcantara (i mean, it is freaking machine washable, so in the end, i would have had an upholstry shop pull the material off the seat and then it could be washed - which would almost definitely have taken out any staining...). But now that the material's integrity and appearance is compromised, that is no longer an option.

I was going to have them install the new over-the-windshield seal that i have on order from Dan, but i am not going to be doing that after this experience. It's strange... The job they did on the exterior (other than the broken cap on the windshield wiper) was truly fantastic... I've never seen the wheels look so amazing, and they did a lot of touch-up on rock chips all over the car, and the color-match is great...

And if i look past the problems in the interior, overall, it was well done...

But, as you said, the carelessness, the lack of attention to detail, and the breaking of things is truly inexcusable.
