Default Good Trim Shop In The Southeast USA??

Not that kind of trim- But if you are in southeast Asia...

Seriously- Does anyone have a good recommendation for a trim shop in the southeast? My car is going to need to have the interior completed and I can only see two options...

#1- Get a trim shop to do the thing turn key. The thing there is that I have never had really positive experiences with trim shops on anything but covering seats. I can not say that they are all hacks, but I can say that a lo of them are. The shop would have to be one that is equipped to take care of the car, plus do a good job that is managed by e-mail and phone calls. I can not afford the time to fly over for a week to fiddle fart around with it. The car is in central Tennessee, but the distance is not so big of a deal.

#2- Get good templates made and have them, plus the dash sent to me and we will fabricate & complete the parts here. The problem there is getting the stuff out and a temporary jig welded up to hold the dash in the correct shape while it is being shipped.
I am not at all afraid to work based on option 2- in fact I would like to be able to work on the thing here so I have a greater degree of control over the outcome.

With option #2, there will still have to be some trim work done in the USA, but in general, it would be the easier parts.

The pic shows the interior as it stands now. Maybe less plastic wrap on the tubes.

Any ideas?

P.S.- I posted this completely forgetting that I will be out of town and very likely out of internet range for the next 10 days. My wife and I are going to Malaysia for vacation- diving, drinking and dining. Ideally in that order.
