Default Camaro Embroidery, not just for Bird's anymore...

So after a little wait, here is the "latest" via "1BadBird" (Bob) and Embrodiery Designs, Bob was first class, and the shop did a hell of a job, and Bob was right on time with the updates even if the shipping wasn't....

Thanks Bob..........

That is an awesome job! I would consider doing that to mine but not sure how good it would stand out on the dark leather on mine.

What does something like that cost to get done and the turn around time?

It definitely looks great on your neutral leather!

Thanks for sharing it with us.

The total for the job was $85, not including the shipping to get it there, shipping back is included.....as far as the time frame, I had a little problem with the pick-up from the shop, so it was a little longer than normal, but three weeks is probably normal turn around time........I think on Ebony leather the Black center Silver outline looks great, and it does stand out.....

Yeah...Bob's work is awesome...I had my SS seats done about a month or so ago...will post pics if I ever get around to putting the covers back on! If you are considering this mod...do it! $85 including return shipping...fast turnaround...OEM quality. I did black center, red outline SS on my ebony leather seats...looks factory.

I did T/A seats with a great embroidery job by 1badbird! You can choose colors, I went with a low impact look:

I assume you have to remove the seat covers and send them to him right? Are the covers hard to remove/re-install?

smokin t/a 600, thanks, the console is part of the whole Carbon Fiber kit from RKSports......

LawmanSS.....PICS!!........

14u2nv, yea, the whole cover has to come off, but it's not hard.....push the seat forward and feel on the bottom for the "c-clip", grab both front and back seams and seperate, if that doesn't work well, cup the seam in your hand and close it and squeeze, it should start to seperate, when you see them appart it's the ol', "so that's how simple it is" thing that Chevy is famous for......pull, HARD, on the release button off the back of the seat......slow, hard and paitent and it will come off, unscrew the seat belt holder then reach up the front of the cover and release from the three strips of Velco holding them on, two on the sides (vertical) ,and one (horizontal) under the headrest and slip off.....be careful with the metal piece for the seat release on the back, you don't want to tear the vinal....and your all done, 5 minutes to get off, 3 to put back on....

That looks great!!!
He does do great work from what I've seen. I have the T/A seats in my car and all I want is a freaking bowtie but nobody will do them for me and I would think the bowtie would be the easiest

Blu Beast, I emailed Bob 3 days ago but didn't receive a reply, I resent the email today, maybe I'll hear from him. Is there any other way to contact him, I really want this embroidery done!

Rob, Brutal , I think he has those designs, if not, I think it just a matter of getting the right pic and size and having the shop digitize it....e-mail him and see...and thanks by the way...

Teri9672, thank you too, I think you would love it!....looks factory and now I can't stop staring as I'm walking to the car and when I'm looking to the right while driving...LOL

02blackZ, sometimes it takes a few days/e-mails, he should answer though.....

Bad Blu , thanks, nice "cost-to-reward ratio" on this MOD.....

This was his reply,

"Sorry Joe....I just don't have the time with my full time job and new promotion to give the quality and turnaround that everyone has come to expect.

bob

So I guess that means he is not going to do any more embroidery!

Look no further! I have done many, many T/A, firebirds. These are the current designs for the Z28, SS and 35th Anniversary. The flags don't have to be on the Z28 design. You can find my work all over this site and many others.
