I paid $95 for mine including return shipping:




On a side note if anybody with a SOM/Ebony car wants to trade their blank headrests for my embroidered ones PM me! I am putting those seats in our white car so the SOM 4th Gen Birds on the headrests wont work anymore!!

$95 gets you two embroidered headrests & shipping back. 1-2 week turnaround time. Talk to Grant.

*edit*
not sure if he's still a sponsor or not.

Had mine done at the mall - LOL. When I had my seats done a couple of months ago the shop cut the leather piece out for the headrests and gave it to me to have embroidered. They recc'd I take it to one of the kiosks at the mall that does hat/shirt embroidery. I found the custom bird I wanted and tweaked it to the size that I needed and then saved it in a jpg and took it with me on a flash drive to the mall. The shop loaded up the image and had my headrest leathers done in 20 mins. Cost me $30. Turned out awesome.

Talking Grants the man!

I forget what mine was but I had extra "artwork" that needed to be digitized so that ran the bill up, but the quality speaks for it self.

Grants the man...

Ask around,,, not sure if youll encounter the issues I had,,, but ppl around here told me they wouldn't do it because it was a registered trademark and they didn't hold a licence to do it,,, if you can get it done hush hush then cool.
If i could of found someone i was ganna get my 81 seats done when I did them a few yrs ago.

I'm getting close on being able to commit time to the car again, so in the event that I am unable to get a $30 job done at a kiosk, I am going to send them to Grant.

Could someone PM me his email?

Thanks!
