You have to raise the headrest. Unlatch the bottom(open it up). Then start pulling from one side making sure that the opening slides over the foam. Continue pulling from one side. It takes some time, but you can do it. Maybe use a blow dryer to heat them up. This will help them strech.

BlackHawk, those are some nice headrests!! Is your shop on Elmo Weedon Rd out there by Lavco?

I was wondering, do you do full seat covers, or maybe something that you would be willing to do? I'd like to get some leather seat covers, probably with some custom embroidery work done on them, in order to help protect the factory leather....and I would like them to be a really snug, tight fit so that it doesn't wrinkle as much.

If you would like to come out to car club on Friday, we can then talk and go from there. I will be in the Black Firehawk. I would have to see what you are wanting to do. We meet at the Sonic on Harvey Rd around 10pm.

Default Got my "Last of The Breed" headrest yesterday

These came out EXTREMELY well! I am so freakin happy with them. The comments from other F-Body fans in Albuquerqe last night was all positive and they want theirs also! Grant did a wonderful job and the price was just right. The price and the quality are not even justified. The price is too low for the quality, but I'm not complaining, get yours done!

Default Removing the headrest

Unscrew the belt holder, then unhook the underside of the headrest. Take the inside part off first, inside towards the other seat. You will feel like you are going to rip them, but go slow and once you get part of the inside coming up, then start with the oposite side. Put them back on with the outside first working the inside over the cushion. The cushion will give enough so you can achieve this without ripping the leather. Good Luck! Troy

All prices have been dropped. Most designs now are 65 and 75 for the larger designs. This includes return shipping. We are now selling the designs so that you can have your local shop do them for you if you like.
