Default Custom Head Rests

Several people asked me where I got my head rests from. Here is the guy's email address:

pontiacfirehawk@hotmail.com

The guys name is Grant. I found him in the LS1tech Appearance forum. When you send him an email, he will send you back an order form. He has several pics of different designs that he can send to give you an idea what yours might look like. Mine cost $75.....enjoy!

I have seen his stuff and EVERYONE says he does awesome work. If I wasn't hell bent on sticking a set of Recaros in my car, I would be all over that deal

It would look fine if that is what you wanted. I have even made the cummins turbo diesel design found on the side of the truck, and it looks good.

PULL! They are pretty difficult the first time Howard. I ended up cutting the bottom 2-3 stiches on each side to get enough slack to slide over the seat belt mounts. It makes them a little more challenging to tuck everything back in so it looks good, but it works.

Cool

Here's what I got from them... The Hemi ones I put on and they looked great... the other set I never did get on there because I didn't install the custom leather seats.

Looks good Bubba....for a Dodge.

I think anyone who has seen my car will agree. This IS a very nice touch. AND cheap too. Hard to beat how much better it makes the car look for $75! You make nice **** Grant

The last thing I would want is someone to think it said 'all hail God'...it would blow my whole "I'm an athiest" thing.

Grant, do you have a page together with anything? Or do you just put on what people come up with?
