ss detailing
 
Hey everyone...........Have a 2006 Monte Carlo SS and would like to add the SS badges to the headrests.
Any suggestions on the best way to do this ? Would appreciate any help !

I was going to send mine out to be stitched but it turns out it was cheaper to order the SS headrests from the dealer and swap them out! Direct fit, no hassles and looks great!

Keep an eye on here or Ebay for a set. They haev to come from an 06 or newer Impala. Monte had no SS headrests. I got mine cheap on ebay. There was just a set of Tony Stewarts on here. Keep an eye n classifieds. Alot of shops will not do them sinice it is licensed by GM. I think they say partsdirect.com has them cheapest. The part numbers are listed somewhere on here for them. Start searching the forum with the search box. GL.

the only thing good about having them stitched is you can have different colors and stuff. i plan on getting mine done sometime cus the impala white SS headrests dont really go with the theme of my car

I had mine done the stitching was only 12 dollars a headrest and you can pull the skin and put it back on. Here is the pic

does anyone know if the leather from the seats come off this easy? I was gonna give it a shot when i put my led's under the seats and had to take the seats/mounts out of the car, but didn't wanna face the consequences of taking the leather off and not being able to get it back on...:o

i dont think i would mess with the whole seat. seems like it maybe hard to get it off and back on perfect. but i havent really done anything like that before

so mel would you do silver outline with black stitching or silver/red on my black leather?

Mels SS 02-02-2012 04:20 PM

I would do red and silver outline

Pulling the seat compleaty apart really isn't too bad, i have not done it with a monte seat but did with a saturn seat,

just need good set of pliers to open up the metal rings that hold it on and to put them back on, if i am not mystaken the botom didn't even have any hog rings it just kind of clipped into place underneath
thus is why.. go to reash in my pocket and the seat bent...
