You know, the funny thing is that I sold several sets of these on CGP. I think I sold somewhere around 5 - 6 sets. I was all set up to knock them out too. I was working on seat belt ones too to match and then the requests just stopped.

I could probably do it again, but it would take me forever to get everything set up. The software to lay out the embroidery was the hardest part. Getting all the settings just so, all the stitches just so (yeah, I could control stitch by stitch where everything went). I had a lot of fun doing it at the time. I still have all the templates that I used though. I wanted to buy a better embroidery machine actually when all the requests stopped.

I wanted to be able to do bigger pieces like the center console lid and the rear seat center piece. I made all of mine though out of heavy duty cloth that would stand up to some washings. Im glad I did now too. With the set I made for my car, the lettering and stuff on the drivers side tends to get a little dirty and with leather I would be stuck. But with the cloth ones I can just clean them up or throw them in the wash and go.

Leather just looks bad ass though...

I cant find any local shops that will embroider leather. Still looking.

Once I get my embroidery machine I will do it. I am down for anything. Once you do upholstery work on $100k vehichles you aren't afraid to try anything.

LOL, I can imagine. Definitely let us know how it goes. I'd like to see some work. Id love to have some covers for the center console arm rest and the rear seat arm rest. So get that thing and hook us up.

Once I get the machine and everything ready, I will just make them for the cost of materials, of course there will be a few freebies given out as test ones/hype.
I will post some pics of my car as of now, when I get a chance. I will also post when I redo the interior soon. I am also working on a slow going project for a somewhat famous pro baseball pither, and then a really trashy f-150 that is getting a full blown redo. The slow going project is a 68' camaro and is just getting resto done but all black suede and leather, the f-150 is getting a custom paint job, pretty much all fiberglass console and sub box behind front seats, 9 tvs, and airbags. So I have a pretty busy schedule outside of work. But I am picture posting whore, so you guys will be with me the whole way. haha.
