If I can get a reasonably priced local guy to do it, I'll do it to mine when it comes in!

Great mod and thanks for the idea...

Makes me wish I had the black interior instead of the tan.

Looks great.

I just got off the phone with four different embroidery places here in town. While none of them have done this kind of work, they all said they could if the leather can come off the headrest (I assume it can, but I don't have one to look at because my truck is on order).

When I asked about prices, they all said it would be very reasonable since there would be only two.

One of the guys I called said "damn...that's a great idea. Maybe we could expand our business and go online with this!"

Anyway, you can probably get this done if you can find a local embroidery place willing to do it.

Hope this helps...I'll let you know what I paid to get it done, but it won't be for another month or two.

I have a spare set of headrests for my lariat. Think I'll take it in for a stitch, maybe the tan to mach the dash, would look good on the cream seats!

Thanks all for the compliments.It does help break up all the black(in my case).
The place that embroidered them for me is Champion Awards in Memphis.They put the headrests on a machine that usually sews 16 hats at one time.I wanted the back ones done also but they didnt have a ring (or what ever you call it) small enough for them.
Wouldnt know on a price but he said it didnt take long at all.
Last year I changed out the gold stickers on the back of the truck to black.I used that same design for the headrests.
As for the 4x4 logo I copied the sticker on the back of the truck.I changed the horizontal lines to one straight shadow line.For the LARIAT I used the one of the instrument panel.Tried to keep everything (kinda) factory looking.
Taking off the front headrest (are they vinyl or leather?)covers are a pain in the ****.I tore both of mine getting them off.The backs arent to bad.

Im actually thinking of getting my numbers in my headrests after thinking about it.

Now I just need to stop being lazy and pick up the phone book!
