Can be done. You can either have them custom made by Gerardo at www.dsvettes.com or maybe order stock two tones from Gene Culley at www.gmpartshouse.com

Just about any good embroidery place can do it for you. There are several good high res pictures of the C6 emblem on the forum. What I would do is remove the covers yourself, take them to the embroiderer with the emblem on a disk. They will put it in their embroidery machine and voila, your seats will be done lickety split. It involves a little labor for you, but in the end will cost you roughly $50-$75 I would guess. I am actually planning on doing the same for my seats sometime in the near future.
Cheers!

I remember in the tour of the plant, they told me the seats were produced by Lear...you might try researching them too although I would think a good embroidery place can do it cheaper with a picture.

I bought a set of covers from Coverking(>$$200.00)... My car is a daily driver and I noticed some premature wear in the leather after about six months... The covers didn't come with the C6 logos/ patches... Got them from a forum member and had the sewn on for $30.00.



I met a guy @ a car show with some custom leather from http://leatherseats.com/

They can make custom skins in any color you want and they also do embroidery. For now, I'm happy with the covers.

Gerardo can not do the embroidery for you. The C-6 logo is a registered logo, so most shops will not use it without the required license. I'm sure you can probably find a few out there that would do it, though.

I agree that Gerrardo won't/can't, but I would be willing to bet that just about any smaller embroidery shop out there would do it no problem. I know there are several here in Va Beach that would have no issues doing it. Just my .02.

True, however most would do it because you are doing it for personal usage only and not for sale.

Because I have had plenty of things embroidered and silk screened that are trade marked and the only question asked was were the item/s for personal use or for team's... YES is always the answer
