Marietta Trim Shop was a bust. I got there, showed them the top. Assembled the frame for them, explained the install process, was able to answer all of their questions. Showed them that the ferrules were already installed, windshield didn't have to be pulled for the bracket on the dash to be installed, explained enough where there was no guesswork for assembly.

Their response: "well, we will start at $1200 and see how it goes. This is a project for us and we have to charge accordingly. The cost of the car puts a significant liability on our shop and we have to account for that in the price." IMO, the price of the car should not have a bearing on the price charged for install.

I explained that it should take 8 hours...if they had to install everything. Most of the hardwork was already done. They basically, wanted to charge me a shop rate of about $250/hr.
