    Hey Guys,
    I need some help. I bought a set of blank headrest covers for my GN. My GN is called The Executioner!!! I drew up some artwork, but cannot find a shop nearby that can scan it and embroider it onto my headrests. Has anyone here had their own design put on the headrests??? I need a really good shop to do this. Its the finishing touch to my interior.

    Thanks

    If need be I can contact one of our clients who has 16 color embroidery machines. I have seen an enormous piece on their wall, unbelievable work. I dont know what they would charge but I can put you in touch with them. They do alot of business with Harley Davidson.

    Thanks guys. I would post a pic of the artwork, but it happens to be in the car now, and the car is at Vince Janis' tranny shop getting some adjustments made and a new PTC convertor from Dusty.

    Thanks, I will contact Scot first. If no luck, then I will try your guy Bryan.

    There is a guy here in San Diego that can digitize whatever you send him and stitch it in whatever colors. He did the headrests with the turbo 6 on my recaros. Let me know if the others fall through.

    Here is the custom artwork for my new headrests. Lettering will be silver. Ax handle will be light brown. Ax blade will be silver cutting edge and darker gray everywhere else.

    Lets here some opinions...

    I like it. Maybe do the X in red like it's a bloody slash and have a drop of blood dripping off the point of the axe?

    From the moment I first saw a GN...I always thought of an Executioner. All they do is kill...nothing else. They kill everything they race...they kill at car shows...and they kill bank accounts!!!
    I'm going to a shop tomorrow to get the artwork scanned and see what we can do.

    Thanks
    :D

    As long as you like it thats all that matters, I think in a sea of black and gray its the little differences.
    Looks like they transferred it over well.

    VERY nice Coach. An original & personal touch for sure. It should bring a lot of smiles.

    Care to share who did it? Also I like the belts - who did them? I know I'm nosey - that's why I'm over here behind the keyboard.;)
    Thanks,

    Its my own artwork. Stitch Art in Meadville, Pa scanned it and embroidered it for me. I put the belts in also. If you look in the fabrication section under Coach's custom parts...I posted a link to go with the mounting brackets I manufacture for them.

    Thanks for the nice compliments.

    Looks great. But I think you should have put a little jagged red on the blade for the obvious.

    Blood was suggested by a few. It lost the vote with my better half and the programmer at Stitch Art.

    I could understand it if we where hugging a tree. LOL

    But you said it yourself when you first seen the car "all they do is kill"

    Still looks great and a great idea
