Maybe a dumb question, are they custom? Or did some ws6's come with the embroidery in 'em? Like the CETA's. Anyway, $400 sounds steep, go see a custom spot just to compare would be the best way to go.

I had my 2002 WS6 headrests embroidered by Grant in TX. He's done a lot and does excellent work. He's blackhawk131 on this forum. Do a search and you'll find a lot of examples of his work. I paid under $100 including cost to ship him my headrests (return shipping was included in price) but it's been a while so don't know his current price.

actually there my headrests. and no hes not paying $400 for them. My offer was $300 and i need his old headrests. my dad got them done for me a few months back before some dumb bitch decided she wanted to run a red light and total out my car. anyways they are a custom job that he had done and are different from the standard ones you can just buy for cheap. I am not a ripoff and im not screwing anyone on this forum. i have sold lots of parts with a great ebay rating and just recently started selling on here. They are nice and you will be very happy with them. If you dont want them fine, im sure there are others out here that would like to have something no one else has in there WS6.

Not saying you are trying to screw anyone...

Just saying he can get them done for under $100. Not a decal, actual custom embroidering.

he told me i was screwing him because i wanted his headrest as part of the deal. i need them so i can have a complete set of seats. i want to put these seats in my s10 but i think it would be retarded to have a xtreme s10 that says WS6 trans am on it.


this is a pic of one.

You are trying to scam someone for 300 bucks, those are not custom, they are embroidery that nearly any shop will do for under 100 bucks, for you to try and get that much money for them is out right theft. 300 would be worth it for the whole front seats but not just for the headrest
