    Heh, besides that. :)

    Like with my old Mustang I expect to almost never have backseat passengers.

    I wonder if it would affect your car insurance at all.

    Hah mine were missing when i bought the car. The first rear passenger i had in the car complained right away.

    Its damn hard to find used white/platinum headrest.
    Does anyone know if B6 headrests fit B7?

    thats a good looking cab, and it looks better w/o the headrests...gives the profile a sleeker look. Like mentioned keep them in the trunk in case.

    Yeah they made it almost look like a 4-door and also almost entirely blocked the view out the rear windshield.

    Me too. I considered removing them since the obstruct view a little with the top up, but I think it looks better when the top is down

    I think it looks way better now and that maybe getting a windscreen will totally complete the look. Make it look closer to a 2-seater sports car than a 4-door family car.
    They REALLY stand out in this pic.

    I've tried, even watched a video that showed very little, but I can't get them off. I need them off to wire my backup camera anyway.
