Default Iggee's installed...but, see pics.

First let me start by saying these covers fit and look great.

My only problem is with the embroidery, I had asked that they use the "Grand Sport" picture on their site as an example. I guess I should have been more specific. In my opinion the lettering is too BIG.

What do you think?

The covers look great but i can understand your being upset about the lettering not even being close to the same font and size. It probably would have looked better with no writing on it at all but they are still a huge improvement and look good

I was thinking the same thing, I'm sure I could have the two panels replaced (for a fee). I sent an email but we'll see how that goes...

I agree, if the embroidery can't look like the original, remove it. Let’s see how they handle it.

I was trying to recreate the original look (+ the piping).

I would have them add the bow tie if possible to the left
of edition then they would look pretty good!!! These look pretty good as covers! If not take the top end to another shop to put the bow tie in, have to be countlesss folks local.

This company without a doubt gives you the best bang for the buck. My $200.00 investment made the whole interior look like it was new again.

i agree 100% and they didn't make it look original for sure but the piping is nice on a plus note... i think the ppl down at iggee's are pretty easy to deal with, i live in canada and they went out of their way to make sure i didn't get hit with customs/duty fee's when the parcel arrived

Damn, I missed the piping option when I got mine. They look great, but I too think the lettering is WAY too big. Should only be about half that size at the biggest. Good luck with dealing with Iggee. Hopefully they can work with you.

I heard back from Iggee and they're going to replace the seat backs.

If they can't recreate the stock font and size I'm going without the embroidery.

The covers make a difference in the look. I like the contrasting piping that it brings. The lettering does look too big. I think it should match the original lettering size. That is the problem that I am seeing. I am used to the original size, and that is the comparison.

Overall though...for $254....I could live with that difference.

But, I'm near sighted, so the BIG lettering helps.
