    Headrest 'mod' picture request

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I hate the headrests in my ultrasport and how they stick up so high. I have heard mention of a 'paperclip mod' but I havent seen any pics. I tried to pull off this super slick mod but I wasnt impressed aka... I dont think i did it right. Can anyone help me out with pics or suggestions with what you did to your headrests.

    hey-- tell me to buy s4 seats and ill give you a dollar.

    well it's not that hard to tell if you did it right or not with the paper clip mod. If your headrests are completely flush with the top of the seat, you did it right, and clearly need something else because you aren't happy. If there's a gap, go grab your paper clip and try again. I don't have a camera, and don't want to waste 50 cents sending a picture on my phone to my email haha.

    Re: Headrest 'mod' picture request

    The headrest should sit flush against the top of the seat, aka you should not see any of the metal guides. I also hope that you're on the shorter side, because if you lower the headrest below the level of your head and get in an accident (god forbid), its going to hurt. The headrest is there as a safety device, not to look cool. Just my two cents

    Re: Headrest 'mod' picture request

    Some dude from europe posted a pic of his interior a long time ago on audizine and everyone freaked about his front seat headrests. They were his rear seat headrests. No one took him seriously if i remember, i could be wrong. But i walked out to my car and thought "wow why didnt i do this before". More visibilty out the rear with no headrests and the front seats look awsome with the rears on.
