Interior/Exterior Source for interior fabric / upholstery shop
Source for interior fabric / upholstery shop
Searched, found nothing... Hoping someone might have some suggestions.
Wife hates the headrests in my '11 so I picked up a pair of headrests from an '06 off eBay which she finds much better (they don't protrude forward from the seat back at the bottom the way the newer ones do). Unfortunately the blue leather / gray fabric of the '06 headrests doesn't go at all well with my black/red cloth/leather seats.
Tried asking the service guy at the local dealership during my last service appointment who does their interior work, but he didn't know and it didn't seem he could be bothered to find out for me. Needing to find either a source for black cloth to match my seats and/or an upholstery shop that can recover the headrests to match.
Good thing about headrests as opposed to whole seats is they're easy to ship, so even a non-local upholstery place would be fine so long as they're willing to ship.
If I can't find either my last resort option would be to find a reputable local place, have them make a pattern from the covers on the '06 headrests and I believe they could modify the '11 headrest covers to fit (comparing dimensions I think it could be done). I'd rather keep the '11 headrests intact, though.
Anyone have any experience with this, suggestions on vendors or upholstery shops?

I bough my headrest covers from RedLine. You can pick any color, logo, stitching, etc that fits your needs

Appreciate the thought, and while Redline Goods does do good work (I've got a set of shift/e-brake boots from them waiting to go on my Miata) I'm looking to make the headrests match the factory cloth so as to look factory. Need someplace that has or can get material to match the cloth on the cloth/leather seats.
