Ok, this is an odd question. Right now, center to center, my head rest holes (in the seats) are 8.5" .

Here's my problem. The head rests that came with my car are complete pcs of crap. Instead of spending the time/$$ re-finishing them, I want to find a nice QUALITY pair of head rests.

My question is has anyone ever seen a chart that outlines which cars have which head rests, by measurements??? My wife's Navigator head rests would be PERFECT but they are 2" too narrow...

:popcrn:

Do they only sell one style? I'm looking for something "different". I'll check them out now.

I just learned that Hummer head rests are the exact same measurements (pole to pole), so it's a start.

Don't be sorry!! You had no idea what my bi-polar self was looking for!!!

check this out.. Hummer H3. They will be recovered to match my seats perfectly. I'll also keep the factory rests (which are being re-dyed). IGNORE THE FACT THAT THEY ARE BLACK, I think these look great.



And a HUGE comfort difference over the stock BRICKS that were in my seat before.

Hey, for $30, what do I have to lose?!?!

Look good to me.  What year H3 were they? I might look into some myself.

Well, they look pretty goofy right now.. They stick out like a sore thumb.. Hopefully when they match they'll look better  :icon_smile_big:

Too bad my all time fav Mustang "halo" headrests wont fit.  I put a set in my '92 vert when I had it.  Im also in the process of adding a set ot my '99 vert now...

I know its an old post but got an updated pic? How'd they turn out for you?  My seats are in the shop right now and I want to figure out the headrests.  Its a bench seat but I think they're the same except for pole length.

Found thread in some old email notification and saw it hadn't been followed up.  Here's what I had and how they ended up.  Thought I'd post for info in case somebody else thinks about it.  I also remade the dressing hardware to fit the smaller H3 poles
