How much do you guys think it would cost to get custom stiching of "Camaro" in the two front headrests? Also do you guys think the orange interior package would still look good if i got the Blue Ambient Lighting to accompany it?

When you get the Inferno Orange Int. Accent package it automaticly make the ambient lighting orange, and only orange. NO COLOR CHANGING> BLUE OR ORANGE.

dangit thats what i figured but some of the stuff in that pdf was worded confusingly so i wasn't sure. thanks though. oh and by the way beast i used to live in arcadia. ca. i loved going to the galleria and americana is freaking awesome except for the fact its waaaay out of my price range.

I'm sure you can change it out later from GM accessories

ucla1ove3 · 09-03-2008, 10:12 PM

alright that's good cause that's what i would wanna do. the orange would look weird with all that blue in the dash and like the stereo and stuff... and besides that blue is waaaay better looking

The_Beast_ · 09-03-2008, 10:22 PM

Ya no one reall "shops" at the americana we just chill there.

ucla1ove3 · 09-03-2008, 10:27 PM

yea i know. that's what i did. just took my gf there and chilled and had cheescake :] mmmm delicious.

The_Beast_ · 09-03-2008, 10:57 PM

Dude wend you move??? AND YYYYYYYYYYY

ucla1ove3 · 09-03-2008, 11:16 PM

i moved in early july and it's cause we had to find a new cancer hospital. my dad was at City of Hope in Duarte. which ironically enough he worked at before getting cancer. and so the next "protocal" or treatment plan was here in Houston at MD Anderson. and since the drugs are so expensive and insurance won't cover it, the price of houses was just to much in So. Cal versus here. get it?

1. It prolly will cost a few hundred depending on where and how many stitchings you want from a car specialist.

2. The ambient lighting will only come from the dealer in blue or orange but trust it will be very cheap and easy to get pretty much ANY color you want. Its only LED lights that are blue and orange it would be very easy to get different color ones and install them.

cant cost that much, i had a hole headliner redone with a big chevy bowtie in it and it just broke a 100 bucks and they did a great job

my brother in law is a die hard eagles fan and he has his own "eagles mobile" im talking flat screens on the outside, custon green eagles paint job, tottaly redone interior. its like a mini winnabego. he had the eagles emblems stitched in the seats and the couches. and im talking just a few inches by a few inches and it cost him a good 400 - 500. so i dont know where in the hell you got someone to do a huge ass chevy bowtie for rite over 100. hey i guess its just where you go.

ucla1ove3 · 09-04-2008, 06:23 PM

yea i was kinda figuring that cost so thats why i asked him lol. i was like if i can get a good job done for like a hundred well then i am for sure going where he went

ckellyme3 · 09-04-2008, 06:25 PM

yeah i sure as hell wouldnt pay that much my brother in law did because he can afford to wipe his ass with that kinda of money lol.

logan1080 · 09-04-2008, 11:07 PM

I had it done at a guy who does a lot of furniture upholstery, but he does recover car seats and door panels from time to time. He is a small privately owned business but he does good work and prices are fair, it was his first time doing a head liner that had a design in it and he did a perfect job, i think the bill was $110.00 for new material and labor. my friend got 454 put into his headliner after me and it came out very nice too.very good price i thought. His place is called Darbaryle Upholstering in swift current, sask, canada. Putting SS in a head rest would be pretty cheap to get done there.

logan1080 · 09-04-2008, 11:09 PM

And it was not a leather or vinyl headliner, just regular cloth and i removed and installed the headliner myself.

ucla1ove3 · 09-04-2008, 11:45 PM

thanks dude. i would look into this but i live in texas.

Vash · 09-05-2008, 02:55 PM

If you want to make it a show car there are lots of forums out there for helpers. Otherwise you probably want to spend your money on add on's instead of the headrests. Only time you really want that is when your gonna present the car at shows etc.

ucla1ove3 · 09-05-2008, 05:52 PM

yea i know what you mean i just have always kinda wanted to get custom headrests so idk. but thanks.
