I have waterproof seat and head rest covers have not seen the stock fabric in 6 years!

Both look great!

My family owns a small sign and uniform shop that does this sort of thing. Emboidering, heat press, silk screen that sort of thing. Any shop should be able to do it for you. This took about 4000 stitches usually shops charge per 1k. Of stitches so u can just call your local place and get a price. The font is available online for free if they don't already have it. And they can embroider leather no problem so u would be set there. I went with the embroidery because it looks like how dodge would have done it if it were a factory option

That looks pretty good, it's a nice touch for the interior.

if you guys want a higher quality heat press logo, than the wal-mart stuff, i can hook you guys up. all you would have to do is go to a shop and get it pressed on. an iron wouldnt do it. usually $1-2 per press.

Both the front and rear headrests can be easily removed. Here is a thread to guide you through it.
