Firebird emblem headrest

I'm lookin for some headrest covers with the firebird phoenix on it to go on my 91 formula. I found some, but it says they are for 4th gen models. Could they fit on a 3rd gen or does anyone know where I could find some? Thanks,

Lefty.

Get some embroidered the way you want by a interior shop that does seat covers.

Re: Firebird emblem headrest

As the above post said, keep asking, someone will do it for you. I went to 6 shops before I found someone who would do it. In my view, the copy right is to prevent people from selling the design and making a profit. The design was only going to be used for my personal use, so I had it done. Check with some embroidery shops other than interior shops, that is where I found mine.

As a side note, use rylon thread, cotton thread will break easily and you'll have the '****' look to the embroidery design as it wears, not cool when you spend a lot of money to have the seat covers done.

Here is mine, scroll down the page to see the seats:

Good luck

Yes and since the embroidery shop will be making a profit off of that logo. . .

Damn your car is awesome man, how much did all that cost you? I also am going for the two tone interior but black and blue. I love the red stitching in the seats and the emblem looks incredible. Thanks for the link.

Here are mine that I had done a couple years ago. The price was included with the recovering of my leather seats.
