Reupholstery in MA?

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a 2008 335i with less than 8,000 miles and was looking to get some suggestions about getting the rear shelf repaired/replaced as it is extremely faded.
I searched the New England forums and found that A1 Auto Upholstery in Waltham and Bodell Auto Upholstery in Billerica were suggested. Any new advice?
I am prepared to take the shelf out myself, but was not looking to spray/paint it myself. Am I better off just trying to buy an OEM new one and installing that?

Overall pictures of the car. I included my lovely camry too.

Full disclosure, I am a used car dealer but not your typical one. This is the second 335 I owned, the other one was an 07 335xi with 61,000 miles from March 2014 until 67,000 miles in March 2016. Since then I've been driving Buick Centurys and Regals but more recently Toyota Camrys. I've always kept track of the BMW 335s price and was lucky enough to buy this one when it became available on craigslist.
I am going to be reconditioning this 335 and reselling it on bringatrailer with complete honesty. Including that it was not garaged.

Thank you for the advice. Will probably go with eBay.

If there's any curious people out there. Here is what the carfax looks like for the BMW.
