*not to be a d*ck, but I will not be able to get these done for anyone for a few reasons:
1. The logo is copyrighted and I do not have any rights to mass produce, plus I am not an AZINE vendor.
2. This was a very special favor to me form the gentleman who did my embroidery and I was told by him that this would be a one time deal.
3. The cost and time put into these was far greater than I thought it would be.

You could probably go to any local indoor swap meet and get it done. Just take your material in and have them do it, then take the finished product to your local upholstery shop and have them French seam them the new covers for them. Also might as well have done all four. FTW
I'm diggin' it! I bet it just pops when staring at the car from far away. ^ And yes, i say all 4 headrest FTW!!!

Replayman, yours came out nice and since it was done on a Tajima, I am sure I was the tech who set the machine up. Tajima for the win!

Really, I didn't know that...did I miss the post on that? Plus, I would love to see someone who has had all 4 headrests done. Do you guys think it would look good or is it too much?

Steven, since Golfjwr and replayman are the only two that I know who got the headrests done, you would be the first to get all four done. I know we spoke about the headrests for your car a long time ago and I said the way to do it was exactly like Golfjwr did his. It's the only way to make it look right in the nice interior. Get cracking on finding a local upholestry shop in your area and make it happen.
I remember when replayman did the airbrush and I thought it was nice but I had my concern with how it was going to hold up over the long term with the heat and pressing on it from the hair and whatever else. I see he did the right thing and had it done with the embroidery.

Looks nice Replayman. They did a nice job. Did they give you the DST sesign for the tjima machine. If you paid a "setup fee" you have the right to have it.

Golf, Replay-congratulations to both of you guys. Both cars (and headrests) look terrific. And mmade-great job as well !!! I am jealous-just like all other Type S owners. You know what----for Base TL owners, having the "TL" embroidered into the headrests would be awesome too.
We need to get a trade out systems set up and put together, just like JNC does for headlights !!!!

Thanks Steven! It was a lot time and hard work to get these babies on, but the payoff is just awesome.
