Weird question, but is it possible to get the Porsche crest embossed on the headrest aftermarket? I tried searching but found nothing and I assume it isn't possible. Any ideas?

I would assume its a branding type press that is used to mark that on the headrest.

I would tend to agree with that.

Do you like the crest as an option? I couldn't really figure that one out, as it seems like it would be hard to actually see the embossed crest. I guess you could see the passenger seat crest while driving.

I'm sure it can be done..however, it would violate copyright or trademark rules and most shops that have the capability to do it would probably refuse. I bought a set of Cobra Suzuka seats for my SVT Cobra Mustang, I wanted the snake embossed on the seat instead of the COBRA lettering..none of the shops would do it for the above reasons.

A much easier to source option is embroidery. You get to pick the size color, boldness and every aspect. Black on black embroidery looks in my opinion even better then embossing and it also makes your sets unique. Match the material, go to an embroidery place. Have an upholsterer take off the covers and replace the crect section with they one you just had done. Technically you could just take off the cover and have it directly done, but I don’t trust others so I always assume they will mess up the original, hence finding and matching the material. I went to a place at my local mall that dose hats, jacket, shirts, etc. The guy barley spoke “engrish” and he said it would take longer then I had assumed. After it was said and done, I shook his hand and told him he did an extremely professional job and my expectation were more then exceeded. I don’t know what seats your trying to do that don’t come with the crest. You might be ask someone at Recaro if they will emboss it but I doubt it. Probably some licensing agreement with Porsche. Hope this helps!

I took the seats to 3 upholster's here in LA and they all refused due to trademark issues.
