any chance you know of anyone who can make a headrest out of a custom material (blue/black carbon fiber vinyl) for me? I'd have you do the stock cloth ones, but they are poly-filled and I don't think there's any way to get them off. I've wanted to get some real headrests done anyways. So... You're the headrest guy, any chance you know of someone who makes headrests?

Just a suggestion.... if you have access to a Genesis Coupe, I think there may be a huge market opening up for you.
Had you been here 5 years ago, I suspect you could've sold a dozen headrests by now. These look awesome, and I suspect you'll sell quite a few here, it just might take some time for people to get the money and decide to purchase.
They look awesome.

ok to answer a few questions...............
DTN spot on.its called injection moulding and basically means the headrest is ruined without a retrim.you can get those recovered no problem i did a set for a guy in ireland but they turned out mega expensive
this.............
from this
being completely honest DTN the cost just doesnt make it worth it.The amount of work i put into these,the cost worked at just over 120 dollars to do in this basic material,the time it takes is collosal,plus id have to source the material you wanted which might be hard here(so you'd have to send it with the headrests)the cost of shipping to me would be huge as would the cost of shipping back.find a good retrim man in the states and you'll save yourself a fortune.if,however you cant find anyone or your some wanton millionaire then it might be worth it but other than that...........sorry
LIKEYOUMEANIT im just talking to audi TT owners club now so yes i can do other stuff and am able to,drop me a pm on what your thinking................
as for you,mr admin,where am i gonna get access to a genesis in the uk? iv already thought of that im just waiting for someone from a genesis forum to contact me with a design(THIS IS A HINT)they want and a load of people who want it and il be pleased to do it(ANOTHER HINT)-but tbh,knowing me already as you do,this isnt about me making money("YOU'LL NEVER BE RICH YOUR TOO DAMN EASY GOING" my father 5 years ago) and i just cant afford to go paying ludicrous prices to advertise on forums.and believe me some do want stupid money.one recently wanted 200 quid off me(300 dollars)to advertise for a year.if i paid that id have to get some serious business and tbh i just aint getting it from the states.
i dont know if you guys dont like the idea of sending them to the uk (understandable,we are after all an underdeveloped third world country filled with sheep farmers who tell the time by sunlight and often burn our offspring as offerings to our pagan gods)or maybe its because you think im too expensive(your kidding right? my children are that thin everyone thinks they come from the third world-its cos i cant afford food) or maybe they just dont trust me,or think they are too cheap i dont know.but honestly,for the business it gets me its not worth me paying to go on any more u.s websites
now if i charged what my services are actually worth-probably 100 dollars-i might get more sites on the go
but i dont want to.i want people to be happy not empty pocketed.everyone seemed desperate for a turbulence design so i did one at fairly big expense to myself and my designer.how many have i sold? none.zilch.not one
find me a genesis forum where they want me and il gladly do theirs for them too!
