1 Bad Bird - I think your link doesn't work.

Crash02 - I was wondering how much you paid for the job. The reason I ask is because the dealer wants $209.95ea plus tax for the collecter edition. Yours is very similar in design, I think the dealer is asking for too much dinero. They include a whole new head rest w/ the illustration in a ebony or neutral color.

I had them done locally. I used the 30th anniversary bird from the stock
30th headrests. I removed all the other lettering and added the Trans Am
above. I added the T/A above because I felt the bird looked to small
without lettering and if I made the bird any bigger the bird would be to
big. The 30th bird is smaller than the one I have. I can't remember what
size mine is exactly. I had to have the new image digitized and then had to
pay to have it embroidered. All in all it cost around $200 to have it done.

Those are my headrests you are referring to in your link. $200.00 is way too much! I got mine digitized and embroidered at a local shop here in town. It cost me $70.00 cdn (approx.$50.00 usd) for the pair. I supplied the design. I was considering the name but I prefer to keep it modest and thought it looked a bit much with the both the bird and the name but each to their own. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Also my head won't rub against them which is a good reason not to place them on the upper curved part because it sticks out more. <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" />

My point was that my price included the digitizing fee as I stated earlier. So to compare apples to apples mine were under $50.00 and yours were $200.00 as you stated. That's why I said that $200.00 is way too much.
GM doesn't mind making a ridiculous amount of $$$ when you want replacements either. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
BTW you don't have to tilt your head back, just sit in the car normally and drive. You will see that many things make contact on the embroidered design. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

LMAO!! This is one of the funniest posts I've ever read so far! <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />

I personally think ND4SPD's head rest looks better.

Crash02, Im not trying to say yours look bad as I always wondered how they'd look with either "Trans Am" or "WS6" over the bird logo. Its always awesome to see new ideas so congrats.

But if theres a problem with your response I got my guns ready
