I also get the "bigger picture" thing, but if he's willing to short change a "brother", what's he doing to others who don't share similar faith & values? If you don't at least have a conversation about it with him, then your sneaking around to get the Camaro seats done by someone else will potentially cause a bigger rift down the road. It's really none of my business but I find it quite annoying when supposed friends take advantage of a situation. He owes you an explanation, if nothing else.

I honestly don't think that intentionally shorted me, I think I know him better than that. He was proud as a Peacock of it. He charged me $800 to cut and sew the carpet and install it, and recover the seat. The place I was going to bring it to first was $400 for the carpet and $1500 for the seat. I didn't go here because it was cheaper, I didn't even know what the bill was till I paid the bill but it was low enough where I'm not out a lot if I have the seat straightened out later. Maybe I'll talk to him and see what he says. If I give to him later this fall he can have it all winter as it's kind of his sideline job.

That's great, Seth. Obviously, you know him way better than we do. It just sounded like you were kinda disappointed in the earlier post. We weren't privy to any of your conversations when placing the order. One thing I've learned about doing business with friends...detailed communication is key. I can't just assume they read my mind and will give me what I want. If every detail is covered then there's less chance of any misunderstandings. Your truck is looking great! Have a blast with it!!
