Default The Infamous Bowtie Headrests...

*Sigh* I'm sure we all know what that means. Every one of us probably covets a pair of the red or gray bowtie headrests for our montes, and some of us may have settle for some good-looking "SS" ones. Lucky you, oh spoiled Pace Car or Earnhardt owner! :P Haha, well this thread could be nice to have around if we ever come across a pair (no, not that $300 maniac:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/HEADRESTS-/140750032333?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories &fits=Year%3A2002|Make%3AChevrolet|Model%3AMonte+C arlo|Submodel%3ASS&hash=item20c55b0dcd&vxp=mtr )

I also wanted to discuss a few more products, the bowtie sideless seat cover you've probably seen here:

Amazon.com: Chevy Bowtie Universal Sideless Seat Cover w/Head Rest: Automotive

and this other cushion here:

Amazon.com: Chevy Bowtie Universal-Fit Seat Cushion: Automotive


So are either of the latter decent products that people have experience with? Anyone put some decals on their headrests? Embroidery?
Let's help each other out in our quest for the crowned jewel of all headrests!

..Hi Tyler,
It's great to see that you have been doing your Monte Carlo Home-Work (lol) & searching for items to improve your Monte Carlo....Sorry, I can't help on the above & have never purchased any of those items.

The Headrest are only $150 a piece & they are used

That's a expensive Mod or Red Bow-Ties 4-Sure..I'd paint them on ~> at that cost...$
=========================================
I hope our member's that have purchased items that you posted, will respond with their experience...

Wish you good luck on getting the items you desire for you Monte ..p.s. check your PM 4 Cover Plate infor...They are also expensive (I think) ~> Good Luck from `Space

My best suggestion is (no matter how bad you want them) be patient and persistent with your search. I scanned through eBay, Craigslist, Kijiji and local ads on a near daily basis for almost a year before purchasing the ones I have. In that entire time I only saw 2 come up available, and I was outbid on the first ones. Sooner or later a deal will pass your way.

I talked to a local embroidery shop. I was quoted $15 by a little old lady. It shouldn't be too hard to get done.
