Default Seat swap in NYC

I just bought a pair of nice seats off a fellow-R'ler.

Trouble is I live in a tiny apartment in Manhattan and don't have room to have the seats shipped to me or to do the work myself (car is in a parking garage).

Can anyone recommend a shop of any sort in/near Manhattan where I can get my new seats sent to, and that will help do a quick swap for me?

Would be ideal if it were not more than 20 to 30 min drive from downtown.

Thanks very much.

Protosport in NJ. it is about 25miles from the Holland tunnel. Have a good reputation from what ive heard. Call them to see if they will take the seats, and how much it will cost to install. (I have no affiliation, nor have been there, but they gave me a couple good quotes on work)

How about Rick from Deman Motorsports? He is right off of the Palisades Pkwy, perhaps 10-15 minutes north of the GWB.

Thanks very much for the suggestions, everyone. Have made a few calls and seats should be in by next week.

The city is probably one of the worst places to own this car, but even so, I snuck out for an hour late last night onto the Saw Mill - simply amazing.

(BTW, also had some work done at Detailing Dynamics. PM me if you want some input regarding them.)

Be careful up there. The local LE just loves to write speeding tickets. Same on the Taconic.

They aren't always the best price, but for convenience, Formula Motorsports in Long Island City 5 min from the Queensborough bridge is tough to beat. I ship my tires there to get mounted, even though they are more $ just for the convenience.

Quadcammer - that's a great offer, but sadly the seats were already on their way to a stealer (of sorts). Really appreciate it, though.

2 Many Cars - Yeah, have to be careful on the HH. I remember the Merritt being great. No traps. That was six years ago. Hope that it's still the case.

This long weekend kind of snuck up on me. Don't have much planned, but I feel *SO* great going into it with the (newly acquired) car. Hell, I'm even thinking of going up for a drive to... Montreal. Six hours will just fly by.
