Default My new headrests!

I had my headrests done about a month or two ago and never got around to taking some pics of them. Well here they are. A well known guy on here named Grant did these for me. Ran me $100 even. Well worth it and he does very good work. Pics arn't the greatest. Let me know what you think!

BTW in picture one, you can see my sub box in the back. I'm cutting the part that holds the subs off and just having that left. Flat board wrapped in leather with the bird on it.

^^ I'd give you his name but I deleted out messages. Do a search and his name will pop up somewhere. That's how I found his name.

Grant is the man. Those look really good, they turned out great. I was leaning towards doing something like that design on mine, but I thought the WS6 would be a little to much, but those do look good with the WS6 on there.

Looks good! I dont mean to be negative, but $100 sounds really high to me... I used a local embrodery shop in town. I had red, white, and black
4"X5" corvette logos embrodered on mine for $15 each side, they did however charge me a $30 account setup fee, which they state is a one time only fee, but i doubt ill ever need my headrest redone!
