Default Seats with SS in headrest, not-embroidered

A few years back, Camaro Performers had a guy's SS with raised SSs in the headrest.

Can someone walk me through how this is done, so I can talk some local boys through the process?

Thanks, Happy New Year!!!

The ones in the original post are embossed in the leather, not stuck on.

yeah hes rights



-- heres my 2 cents

i think they took some foam(SS Shape) and put it underneth the leather (glued it on) and then put some glue on the back of the leather its self and pressed it on(for a clean SS outline)

kind of like embossed logos on subwoofer boxes

Fellas, Thanks for the replies, I think I've found a guy who knows exactly how to make them, glue 'em, etc. Again, thanks.

Here's my .02$. I had these done at a local upholstry shop, emblems were copied directly from a spare set i had laying around. All in all the embroidered emblems cost me like 22$ and the headrest work was like 100$, so yes i know it is definately a little more loot but imho it looks like it should be there. Good luck.
