Default Custom Embrodiery

Anyone know where I can get my headrests done at? I know there use to be a guy that did it but it appears he is out of business.

Do you have any local shops that do embroidery, like a fabric store or a print shop?

I got these headrest wraps, less expensive and looks good;



I got them from this company...nice guy too!

I checked with all of my local stores and they will not do it because of copyright issues. Anyone have any ideas?

This is true, if he can find someone who will do it "under the table" it can be done. But a reputable shop will hesitate because of copyright infringement.
Companies like Grand Mat Designs have to get authorization and license to sell Ford logos on their products. Even here on Mustang Forums they had to remove the running pony from their web logo because of a copyright issue.
Now you know why Ford logos are so expensive on so many products.
