My wife and I may want to make a mod to a SilNylon tent (an extended fly) – can anyone recommend a person/shop with good SilNylon sewing skills?

They may have a long lead time on stuff but all I hear about them is glowing reviews. They are one of the only shops I know of that the big guns will allow to repair on warranty.
EDIT Personal experience, I have not had dealings with them and silnylon
You can find them at http://www.rainypass.com They are my go-to guys (and girls) for any kind of repairs or customizing. That has included some work on silnylon as well as various W/B fabrics. Don't know if they will do custom sewing but it's worth a phone call. They are up front about lead times. Stephenson's of New Hampshire (www.warmlite.com) might be able to help as well. I know they sell some of the great silnylon they use in their tents.
In response to a similar question in the past, Denis Hazelwood recommended Naraayens in the SF Bay Area. They get good yelp reviews as well.
I was looking for someone to do a similar project for me a couple of years ago. Naraayen's in Berkeley does nice work and has done a couple of tent repairs for me in the past. At that time they didn't routinely have silnylon in stock and their material and labor prices were too high to make a fly project worthwhile. I finally contacted Tim Marshall who posts on BPL and does take on some custom projects. Tim did a custom tent fly for me that I was very happy with. You might look him up in the forums and PM him to see if he'd be interested.
yeah, i'll do it.
