Default LS or LT headrests?

Im looking for some LT1 headrests for my TA. I've found some that claim to be from a 94, but the pics look like if its from a 98+. Anyone agree......

Your link goes to radio button controls

I searched ebay, but didn't come up with any auctions for LT1 'bird headrests. I saw LT1 Caprice headrest though....

If my car wasn't under snow and it wasn't in the negative temps I'd go look at mine, but from memory they don't look like LT1 head rests.

Those look like normal headrests from ls1 cars, My tip to you if you think they will be more comfortable that a LS one they are not. I have the big Pillow(lookin) ones on my 94 and even know they are adjustable they are hard not soft. Some times if you put to much weight on one they can break and not adjust anymore. They basically rest all the way back you then pull em forward 3 clicks up and 4th will reset and it will spring back.

I never lay my head against my head rest unless I'm waiting on someone and trying to get a 15min power nap. So it really is just a cosmetics thing for me.

And after seeing a newer car in another thread, I'm 100% sure those are 98+ head rests.

Yep I couldn't drive with my head tilted back on the headrest It would be to uncomfortable. I think somebody probably changed it out on there 94 TA and the seller isn't familiar with them.

GTA Headrests look the coolest to me, They have like a arm that holds the Head rest and adjusts up and down.

Since those are leather, they are from the LS series. Cloth from 93-97 is of that style.

Just want to clear this up. 93-97's also came with the same style headrests as the 98-02's. Leather or cloth, doesn't matter, they were the same style. My 95 came with leather seats, and the headrests are the same as the 98-02's. The larger headrest with the tilt feature was just an option they had, they weren't standard.

I don't think mine look like that, but I do have leather, 6-way, and I'm 90% sure my headrest tilts. Again I haven't been in my car in months due to winter.
