Got my headrests done

my dad does upholstery work and he knows a guy that has one of those computerized sewing machines. i think it looks pretty good and matches well with the exterior.
what you guys think?


sorry for the crappy pics, but you get the idea.

Looks ok. Would look better if the Acura symbol was smaller.

I think it would look better without the A and if the color didn't contrast as much

I like it, I might've had different tastes in logo selection, size and color. But I think that's a great idea.

Looks great though.

I like it. Only 1 thing I wouldvd had done differentely. Left out the "Acura" part and just left the "A" symbol. Still a nice mod though.

I think the letters and logo is TOO BIG, and kinda off with red color. I know the G35 has stititching on their headrest too, I will like it if the letter size, color is similar to those.

I wouldn't mind getting "Acura" put on the upper 3/4 part of the seat back, headrest isn't really my style, but good if you like it!

It's a nice idea. I would have made it a little smaller and in black but it takes guts to put it out there.

A grey/silver would definitely have looked better as a previous poster mentioned. Possibly going for a more personalized custom approach could be another creative route you could have taken. This is a pic of mine...its in a grey silver thread but obviously its reflectiveness makes it look white in this pic

Nobody will buy it, unless he finds another Mikey to buy his car. Not a smart move.

So Mikey is written on both seats? hmmm...

you should have gotten "Mikey" on the drivers seat and "Random chick" written on the passenger's seat. Especially if you are in a serious relationship. It would add to the interior humor of the car.

It's kind of like putting a Type-S symbol on the headrest like Chrysler does to all of their SRT models. :ghey:
