I took care of the embroidery myself and had him stich it up for me. A Korean lady with an embroidery store was very helpful making exactly what I wanted. Just call him and he will be glad to help with embrodery, quality of vinyl, colors, whatever...

For my white vinyl I went to JoAnn and got some really good prices. For the colored vinyl parts, zippers, undernet, tubing, and whatever else I needed I found Santa Barbara on Charleston to have a very good selection. I bet with your computer skills you can call them and find out what file extension they need and design the embroidery yourself - that way get what you want at a huge saving.

He can do it all.. It would help if the old pieces have the shape you want, or if you have some templates made.

Are you going with the pink / green theme, or something else?

Bill came by and looked at the Scarab on Friday. Said he'd get me some pricing on material, then a quote to do my rig in two parts (back, then front) to split up the costs.

My interior is all white... Just want some logos on the rear bench and the back or the bolsters.

Are you going with all new foam? Front and back, meaning outside and inside?

Keep in mind the kind of 3D stickers that irons on the vinyl. I got a few that I am putting on my bolsters, looks awesome..

I would assume so. By front/back I meant the front and rear sections. Front would be the front jump seats, front console seat and storage box lids. The rear is the drivers' bolster, rear bench and cooler pad.

Do all of your outside at one time, otherwise it will always look like a pad on.. Your boat is far easier than mine, not having all the curbes and shouldn't be too hard to accomplish. Let me know if you need a hand, I know Bill will will ask me anyway...
