Removing embroidered stitching on seats?
I have C6Z06 seats in my car and I want to remove the embroidered stitching. Has anyone tried this and how does it look afterwards?
Thanks,
Kevin

Oh yeah, they'll be noticable for sure. Anytime you punch that many holes in something, it's going to show.
You could always leave it on, and put some coverking covers over them. Great fit, good materials, they protect the seats very well, and they add a little more "grab" to the seat.
Got mine from Chip at CCA for a grat price, and love them!

Not sure how it would really look but could cut the stitching out carefully. Then put another logo over it. Would have to get something high quality that would look good. Like a patch with adhesive on it. Would be a low cost option and easier than changing covers.
Would be best to use a real auto upholster person but what about taking the covers off and cutting the logo out and sewing something else in that place. A pro may be able to make something look great.

I was really just wanting the plain look on them though. Good idea though. Was really hopelessly praying someone did it and came in here and said you can't see the holes 
Really wasn't wanting to recover brand new seats. But I guess now it gives me an excuse to match it to my calf leather shifter, ebrake, and steering wheel.

Thanks for everyone's opinion on them. I think I will leave them alone until they wear out a little. Can't justify reskinning them since they are brand new.
