Default CUSTOM Headrest Embroidery

I got my "Intimidator" headrests done at a place here in Waterloo/Cedar Falls. I am sworn to secrecy because of the trademark thing. You know how sue happy GM and DEI are.

It cost me $100 to have them done and an additonal $60 to have them digitize the pattern.

They do A LOT of custom embroidery and there's roughly a 3 week waiting list. So I left my Monte parked until they got done. Who am I kidding? It's still parked because it snowed like a banshee 2 days before they were done and my Monte will NEVER see snow, salt, gravel, etc.

If you have a design, depending on the design it will cost from $60 to have it digitized and then the cost of the embroidery. They actually had to rip the seams out and then resew them after the embroidery was done. Did a GREAT job.

If you are interested, let me know at... ssdriver2006@hotmail.com. Email your pattern to me so I can get an estimate for the digitization and embroidery.

We really appreciate the info on the custom embroidery. That's the kind of stuff that differerentiates YOUR Monte Carlo from all the others.
Thanks!

Custom embroidery and upholstery really adds a great touch to any car or truck.

What are you looking for? This is a sample of the work of the guy that did our Solstice. Here is our Solstice, done by Joe at JPMCoachworks:





Here is another sample of Joe's work. This is the Solstice that was on Bull Run last season. It was in 2 SEMA shows



And Tony, Theresa, and Chip Foose in front of Tony's Solstice "Soul Food" at SEMA:


Here is John from Miami's LS-V8Solstice:




And another:



Leather trunk lid liners?:


Whole Solstice/Sky interiors go for about $5,500-6,000. I got about $700 into what I got. I did the designing. Joe made it work. I ran out of money. My intent was having Joe do the entire interior.

Brock, Seats start at $1,350/pr.

Here is a link to his shop:

Sorry if I hi-jacked this thread. That's not my intent. Just showing what can be done in custom interior work, which is where this thread started. One-of-a-kind stuff.
