Daredevil, yoo has it spellt writely.

BTW its april fools so the message board reverses "he" in anything like: "them". That is typed in as T-H-E-M. :rolleyes: Maybe if i spell it backwards... tehy (t-e-h-y).

Anyway...
With USPS it's $3.85 from anywhere in the continental US. Else, my zip is 11779.

PS aside from grammer check there should be a rush-check too :p

I'll have to see how much that would be to set up. When I find out I'll post here and PM you also.

How do i take the covers off the headrest?

there's a zipper on there. I'm sure you'll figure it out:)

HRE | giulio

lawn boy,
I'm sorry, what? :D (look up, i just added it)

Thanks WRXmy02!

ryanh,
All the WRX headrests I've seen use zippers. Take the headrest off your seats and look at the bottom. The zipper ends are tucked in where the masts come out of the cushion. Pie.
MY99~01 2.5RS are really hard. They use plastic tension clasp, so the harder you pull the tighter they get. Like a chinese finger trap. More like a Japanese headrest trap =) No zipper though.

Thanks,
giulio

HRE | giulio
04-02-2003, 02:43 PM
thrdeye,
I'll have a better answer for you at the end of the week. We have to merge the 2 files and see the stitch count.
Figure about an extra $20 though. Which is much better than double + a new setup fee!

Thanks,
giulio

hey HRE | giulio
any way you can do just words impreza in the "impreza font" without a box or anything around it,, preferably in grey. ive been looking around and cant find a logo to post... havent looked that hard though.
Pat

HRE | giulio
04-03-2003, 04:32 PM
Hi Pat,

Sure we can do that, no problem.
To omit parts of a design, just use the word "omit" when choosing the 'color'.

BTW Pat, I'm on LI too. If you're close and want to skip the shipping charges/waiting let me know. We can meet for lunch or something.

Thanks,
giulio

That Guy
04-13-2003, 12:34 AM
Wow! Those look really good! I've actually been thinking that something like that would be cool. I looked at the order form. What are the thread color options? For the shiny polished looking parts do you use a silver or a gray or what?

I'm shocked, those really look great!

HRE | giulio
04-14-2003, 11:46 AM
thrdeye,
We can do that. It will be an extra $20/pair.

That Guy,
All of the colors are shiny. Even if you get black, it will shimmer in the sunlight. Chrome ("grey" or "silver") will have you drooling. It's really amazing to look at =)
You can pick any color under the sun. You may also send in a color sample with your order, for me to match. I get as close as possible, I've never had a complaint about mismatched colors.

Thanks,
giulio

Gulio, is it possible to add new artwork for a 2.5RS-T in this type of logo http://thetwin314.mine.nu/pics/RS-T_impreza_logo.bmp

but obviously better looking ;) the same style as your 2.5RS logo but with the -T added on.

I would definitely get one of those.

Does anybody have a picture of this on an actual headrest??

http://universeg.com/hre/order/media/sub_soa.jpg



They look great i think you'll will be hearing from me soon.. Another question would you be able to do the same embroidery on a dash cover?? I want to get a black dash cover (can't find anybody that makes them yet though?? maybe you have them??) and have the same logo embrodired on the passanger side??Can you do that??

Hey everyone,

Sorry for not being too responsive to this thread. I thought I had email notification enabled. :confused:


Brian, Thanks for posting that pic.

Joubtt,
This is a continuing hobby. I embroidery every weekend (usually during the week too, but that's not promised).
I can use any color you want, even color match a sample that you send.
Someone else recently ordered that combo, it looks hot!
http://www.universeg.com/hre/comps/25-rpb.gif

TaiChih,
Sorry I can only customize automotive parts. No apparel, hats, etc.

Aphex,
Yes we can do that. Is there an official logo of that someplace?

Foovanadil,
I don't have a pic of that, sorry. To be honest, no one even ordered that design ever. You'd be the first!
I can embroider anything from a car that is cloth or leather, etc. No hard plastics, and no apparel or anything not from, or not being installed into, a car. If you want to talk more about that just send me an email or pm.


Thanks!

Sounds good joubtt.

Boxologist
05-18-2003, 11:36 PM
if u've done any work on a beige interior, like the L's, what color do recomend to use or not use, and do u have any pics of those works?

HRE | giulio
05-20-2003, 08:53 AM
Kopf,
No we cannot embroider floor mats. Our machines are not that heavy-duty. They're mainly for apparel... cloth, leather, etc.

Boxologist,
I haven't done any beige headrests that I can remember. I've done grey though (Honda Civic). I used a light grey and it looks really nice ("H" logo).
I like to use the stock badge of the vehicle. What design did you have in mind? I can photochop it for you.

Thanks,
giulio

If no toll free number i can call from my office to NY on their dime,haha. I would feel much safer talking to the perosn i would be sending my headrest to. Thank you

after the sti cluster...next thing on my list (esp if you can do the 555) :)

HRE | giulio
07-03-2003, 10:58 AM
Jfrankon,
Thanks for the head's up =)

Adiliyo,
Yeah we can do that design. I'd suggest the SWRT design though:
http://universeg.com/hre/media/Subaru_swrt.jpg
555 is a tabaco company who sponsors Subaru, so I've heard.

Thanks,
giulio

PS I cant beleive this board sensor's the letters "jay-ay-pee". I can't write "***an" or "***anese"!? These cars come from ***an! haha

Adiliyo
07-03-2003, 12:47 PM
ya i know it's a tabacco company, but in japanese, 555 comes out like "go go go" so it's kinda cool :p

how come my japanese came out okay? weird...

HRE | giulio
07-03-2003, 01:01 PM
That is very strange. maybe its just something about being a vendor?
Another cool 555 fact. Use a scientific calcultor. Make sure it's in Decimal mode. Type in 555. Hit Hex. It turns into 22B!
Can you get to me the 555 logo you'd like to use? I know there have been a few version over the years.

Thanks,
giulio

Adiliyo
07-04-2003, 02:32 AM
better go searching for a good version of the logo...but i might also be giving my 03wrx to my sister and getting an 04 for myself (supposed to be her car, but i put in a couple thou and i get her new car money and she gets my "old" car...so i doubt this is possible, but can you embroider any portion of the new seats..if you can what would i have to give to you and what not..?

thanks :)

HRE | giulio
07-05-2003, 02:38 PM
Adiliyo,
I can embroider many fabrics. The headrest covers are the easiest for customers to do, and look really good. What you send me is just the covers, not the entire headrest.
I'll start looking for that logo for you.

Thanks,
giulio

07-06-2003, 06:00 AM
sorry if this is a bit off topic, but i haven't taken a really good look at the new 04 seats yet, but i do know they are one piece (attached headrests) so does anyone know if you can take the fabric off the seats? it'd be really nice to put something right around the neck area of the seats, but i don't know how i would get it off without cutting the seat, which isn't something i'd want to do...any ideas? =)

I take payment through paypal.com. I'm pretty sure you can use a credit card through them. Please use this form to Place an order (http://universeg.com/hre/order/begin.cfm). If you have any questions feel free to IM/PM/Email me,

Adiliyo,
I found a pretty current (i think) pic of the 555 logo and recreated it. Does this look right?
http://universeg.com/hre/comps/555.gif
If your headrest covers can't come off, we're going to have a really hard time embroidering. Let me know when you're sure of your seat fabric.

Flexx999,
I'm in NY. Yes I'll ship to canada. Let me know your address and I'll see what shipping to there will be like. If it's only a few bucks more I'll not charge you extra.

You CAN take the fabric off, but its one piece, the whole back of the seat. The "headrests" dont exist since the seats are one piece.

Adiliyo
07-08-2003, 04:30 AM
hmm...is that a reaaaly complicated and pita to do? if it's not to bad then maybe i'll do it anyways and it might be better, since the embroidery would probably look better a little lower than where the "headrest"part is, but since the seats are black, i'll probably go with the prodrive logo...sorry for the hassle, but hey i might not get an 04 and have to stick w/ my 03...so i'll let you know, really would like to get this done though :D

the pic looks about right though, but the one i saw on the car seemed like the "swoosh" part of it was reversed, is it just this pic or am i right?
http://www.swrt.com/cpimages/414602.jpg

in your opinion how do you think the 555 would look on the new 04 seats?

HRE | giulio
07-08-2003, 08:23 AM
03WRXMA,
Thank you for your input! =)

Adiliyo,
The swoosh direction is dictated by the side of the car it's on. The pic I used was the passenger side. But I think your image of the driver's side is more correct, because the SWRT logo swooshes in that same direction.
Full seats are not that complicated but are a pita. I'll have to make sure the entire seat cover will fit into the embroidery machine. If so then we can proceede. I'll post an answer later today.
Well... my opinion.... is mine. I don't always like to give it because everyone has different taste. You should get the design you want. Just walk up to your car with the window down and imagine "a design" on the headrest (or seat in this case). Which design do you see - what does your eye want to see there?
Getting past that... honoring the rally cars is cool and all, but I'd not go with 555. I'd use SWRT or WRX IMPREZA. No matter which you get, its going to look really good!

Thanks Kopf_Jager!

Adiliyo
07-08-2003, 01:02 PM
thanks for the input!

maybe when i go down to the dealer i'll take some pics of the seat and photoshop on different things and see what looks best to me.. :)

mostly i was concerned with the colors clashing or looking a bit odd...black and yellow...kinda like a bee or something...i hate bees :p anyways, hopefully this weekend i can go take a look and maybe work out some deal to buy the car soon :D

Adiliyo
07-11-2003, 12:49 PM
i was talking to my mom about the one piece situation with the 04 seats, and she suggested this: what if i send you a piece of fabric (probably black, and as close as i can get to the 04 seat pattern, color, etc) then you embroider the logo (probably going with the prodrive :) ) then when i get it back, i cut it out like a patch of sorts and either glue (with fabric glue, which i'm told is very strong) or sew it onto the seats whereever i wish.....will this work and look okay?

HRE | giulio
07-11-2003, 02:07 PM
Yes that is something that is done a lot, especially for harder materials like backpacks and metal lockers.
The downfall is that I can only give you that patch. The rest is up to you... meaning I can only be responsible for the quality of the patch- not the placement, glue, thread, or sewing method used to keep it on.
The patches have about an inch border around the design with an embossed rim.

Thanks,
g

Did it turn out good? Are there any pics? What would you suggest on my car?

Yes I did do one like that. I think it was my favorite set! Blue and gold is a great match. I may be weighed though since I have rbp and gold rims =)
I remember taking a pic of it. That was a long time ago though. I'll try to find it for you and post here.

flex999,
Shipping to canada is $16.24USD. But take off $3.85 that I build into the price. So, $72.39USD for a cloth pair shipped back to you.

What would be the total cost to have a logo stitched on both headrests, AND both sides (top) of the rear seat (if that's possible)? Just curious.

HRE | giulio
07-14-2003, 08:30 AM
Subasaurus Rex,

I'm not too sure I know what you mean. Starting with the 03s the rear seat has 3 headrests, right (or is it just the wagons)? The middle one doesn't work that well, so lets go with 4 like you asked. The price is $120, sine it's double the work, thread, and shipping weight. This has been done and looks great:
http://headrestembroidery.com/pics/subaru/full/BSLICKOH.jpg

nohopekid,
You can make any color combination you'd like. However, if you chose green, you'd be the first =)

Adiliyo
07-14-2003, 12:42 PM
nah, it's just the wagon that has the real rear headrests..the sedans have the bumps (weird isn't it? i would've liked at least 2 real headrests...oh well)

sorry to bring this thread back from the dead, but any chance you could do some with the Outback Impreza logo (that's on the back of the OBS)? It's basically just an outback logo with Impreza underneath it in a rectangle. I'll see if I can find a picture(that or I can post a picture of the outback impreza logo on the back of my car).
