The guy did my headlienr panel and A & C pillars as well. The fabric match is perfect to the OEM fabric pattern and his work is top notch.
This guys usually stays far away from Audi headliners due to the horrible foam glue that Audi uses, which is extremely difficult to remove from the panel completely. Even after I spent many hours prepping the panel, it still had some residual tackiness from the OEM glue that would not come off. Damn Audi.
So he usually passes on Audi headliners, but he did mine because one of his good friends referred me to him. I had prepped the panel myself (removing all the foam club with spray rubbing alcohol), and delivered the panel to him. For these types of difficult panels, he likes to take his time, and so I left it with him for a week so that he could do it at his own pace.
He will do more Audi panels now, but he requires that you prep the panel and remove all the foam glue (look for my full FAQ in another week or so), and he asks that you leave it with him for a week. Cost; figure $130-$150. Much better than Bob's top shop who quoted me $500 (only $400 if you remove the panel yourself).
Don is a great guy and very friendly; you'll probably find yourself talking with him for quite a while.
Here is his info:
