Head rest and Visor Covers.

[BacktotheFuturePete]

image_50654.jpg I decided to bite the bullet and pay to get the T-Bird logo digitized for the boot. Since it will be on file once I get one I might as well make use of it. So I made some visor covers and headrest covers. Marked in silver where I was thinking of putting them.

Cut out for the mirror. Not sure if I like the full cover on the visor. I might just try a center wrap like the head rest. Of course the full one does keep dirt and bus off the fabric, along with sun fade.

I will go to the storage facility tomorrow and lay a sunvisor cover and a head rest cover next to a framing square and send you pictures. Good luck with getting a logo made up, I have tried several embroidery shops and now will do either the Thunderbird logo or the script due to copyright issues. They all have said if I get a permission letter from Ford they will move forward.

I have just now seen and read your whole post. My mistake as I thought you were asking for the sizes of them and now I see you have all that information. My apologies. I really need to read everything a little better. Lol

Sorry.

Though that was not the question this does help. I was curious as to what they cost? I made mine to fit the taper of the head rest. J locks instead of Velcro. But they could be Velcro. Do most people put the T-Bird forward or the Script? Your example could be reversed where mine could not.

I don't remember the exact cost but thought it was around $90. I have the script to the rear but it's just a matter of personal preference, you will see both. You did a very nice job on yours.

reversible cost around $60

Thanks for the info everybody. I was turned down by one embroidery shop for reasons of copy write infringement. But there are many more. I am waiting a quote from another place. The covers don't take very much time to make. Mostly the cost of materials and embroidery. I made 6 in about 1 hour, and I was putzing.

I received a quote for the digitizing and embroidery. Each emblem is $10 per sewing. So the embroidery is $40 per set of covers. (I thought that a little high but it is what it is)
If anybody wants a set I can make and send them for $75 per set. I would need to know what color you wanted and if you wanted the t-bird front and back or the t-bird on front and the script on back or the other way around. I will post a photo once the finished product is done. I would also need to know if you would prefer the Velcro or the J clips ( your head rests have them on them now). The Visor covers take longer for a complete cover or about the same cost for the ones that are just a wrap. I should have a picture next week. I will also be making a boot with an 18 inch T-bird. These will fold and fit similar to the factory version on the 2003-2005.

If you tell me the year and color of you want I will get the factory colors to match the vinyl used on your seats (the only part that is leather is the part you sit on) (Depending on how many or if anybody else wants them)each logo cost $10 so if you only want one deduct that from the cost. Visor covers complete will run $135 a pair with two logo, wraps the same as the head rests.( knock of $5 for both
from shipping cost). The one in the picture was just the proto type. They will fit much better than that as I will use a smaller stitch length. I also did not sew around the mirror opening. (again just seeing how it would work.)
