Hi George,
You're right it is expensive, about $410. New side curtains are actually
more, and I've been told that the quality isn't as good. I actually don't
regret the decision, I'm just very frustrated that it should have to take
so damn long.
I considered trying to do it myself, but after looking at them, I decided
that I could not do them justice.
