Embroidery on headrest ... anybody have a firebird graphic?

I am wanting to have a 3rd gen bird embroidered on my new headrests for my GTA style seats. Does anybody have a graphic I can take on a disk to the embroidery shop? And does anybody have any experience with embroidering leather-like vinyl?

A little more "out there" than what I'm going for. But A+ for creativity.

I just want a nice little bird (about the size of my nose bird) in a thread that is the same color (or close to the same color) of my seat covers.

I just need the graphic file of the bird.

Although not a bird I did the same thing you want to do. I took a spare dash emblem to my custom seat guy and he had this made. lot's of looks, compliments and awards.

Tmic87TPI & HCR13 ... thanks so much. This is exactly what I was looking for. I know my embroiderer can use one of these for sure. And 86NiteRider, that is a sweet-looking headrest. I can't wait to get mine done. It is going to be very subtle with the bird embroidered in the same color as the headrest. I think it will look very high-end.

Thanks...at first I thought it would be too big but once I got it I liked the size. Same Color on color will look great....just remember a person will have to be inside the car to notice. I had toyed with the idea of black Heritage stripes on my black car but I didn't have the guts to follow through...LOL
