Is there a shop I can order a couple small sheets of vinyl from for my 1995 Top Gun? I want to have the back of my head rests engraved with the Cigarette script & was told I need new vinyl/tubing, engrave it, then re-upholster the head rest. I don't think the existing stuff can be removed, engraved, and placed back on. Am I wrong? Thanks.

Call LipShip!!

Yes your wrong !!! you can remove the headrest vinyl and remove a few stitches so a shop can lay it flat in a "loop" in order to embroider it, and then have the shop just stitch it back up and you can put it back on your headrest.....

I'll take a look at it next weekend when I visit the boat, see what it will take to get it to lay flat.. I hope I can just use what I have that way it all matches/fits right.

I haven't looked at the two seats in great detail by any means.......but is there a fairly easy way to remove the two headrests, only, so I can get this script put in them? I would think they bolt in somewhere as an individual piece and would be easily removable without dissassembling the entire seat. Any advice before I dig into doing this is appreciated. My two seats are identical to this Cigarette in the link below and I am looking to have the "Top Gun" or "Cigarette" script engraved just the same.

my seat was all one piece, the headrest was not separate.

Here are the bolster headrest middle sections & the back seat that PPI just completed today

BDiggity - Those headrests are EXACTLY what I'd prefer & would like if possible. Are you reupholstering your entire boat? I'm just concerned about matching up the vinyl/strip with what is there on the bolster seats. I think LipShip did some work to my interior in my boat prior to my ownerhip around 2006.

yeah i am doing it in phases though.

last winter i did the berth. this winter i redid the entire cockpit. if i still have the boat next winter i would like to do the sunpad then.

Headrests are separate , take your seats off the stand and flip them upside down, you'll see that it is fairly easy with a thin arm !!

I figured they would be separate. I'll check it out this weekend. Thanks for the response.
