I used to LOVE the tilted headreast in my ES300. Wonder if there is a mod for this!?

I am sure some specialty shop can hook you up with one (like shops that install monitors in the headrest), although it will look different.

I would miss them if the current ones didn't seem to be at the right position for me. I guess if you really want them, you could swap a set from an older IS.

Every once in awhile I find myself reaching back to tilt the headrest while I'm sitting in traffic. The weird thing is I never did that in my CL and it didn't have tilting headrest.

I thought that headrests aren't designed for you to actually rest your head, just to prevent extreme whiplash.

Yes I do. It just feels as if they are miles away from my head.

I found this on ebay, might be a little more support than I'm looking for but it may work for some of you.
