embroidered emblem question

i was thinking of getting my seats recovered in leather in the near future. I want to get an embroidered emblem on the front of the seats in red or white.

The seats will be black, maybe with some red accents. Does anybody know how much it would cost to get this done to all 4 seats? I was also thinkin of somewhat the same design as John aka okfoz.

I was also thinking about putting some lettering like 'Trans Am' or something like that below the bird.

Here are the seat covers i am looking at...$325.

Or, would it be better to get a set of 4th gen seats, and then have the embroidering done?

here is the bird i am talking about, but i will not be doing this much accenting work, nowhere near this much.

josh, ive been thinking the same thing. I want to get my black cloth head rests in my formula done but not sure they way to go either. Ive been calling around some of the laundry shops that does sewing trying to see what can be done. So far nothing yet. Im going to give my other shop a call, the place that did my floor mats and see if the guy can help me out. They did a real nice job on my floor mats. btw, do you know where i can find a pic of the formula decal like the guys got on his seats that you posted a pic of? I cant seem to find one and if i get ahold of the guy who im talking about i need to give him a sample of what i want. Thanks.

I have been wanting embroidery done for a long time. I dyed my cloth seats black and now I want a white firebird emblem embroidered on the headrest. How much did you pay for your embroidering? Where did you get it done?

That isn't my interior...that's what i want to get done to my interior. That interior is owned by John (aka - okfoz). That interior is awesome, i want to do something similar, but with less detail (dont have the money).

My .02 is embroidering looks better on cloth then leather.
The leather gets to be all wrinkled up.
