Default I Need Some Headrests!!!!

Does anyone know of any salvage yards that have any GS400's or GS300 in them. I'm looking for a pair of rear headrests in Ivory leather!!!! If anyone can help me out, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

I think it will difficult for you to find a salvage yard that sells the headrest only. Most of these yards know what the whole interior is worth and will not jeopardize the risk of a "quick" profit versus selling the entire interior. Good luck in your find but you may save your time by going directly to the dealer.

AP,

Since I have noticed many of your posts in the electronics forum I am figuring that you took the rear head rests out to accommodate TV's since they are a little bigger than the front headrests!!?? Am I right??

If so, I want pics bro!! Sometime in the future of my car I will be putting in headrests tv's and I'd like to see your opinions, beefs, about them..

I bet it looks DOPE w/ those 20's of yours!! NICE RIDE!!

LexDriver18,
Once I get everything put in to my satisfaction, I will definetly get some pics on the electronics board. Trust me, having TV's in the car, is that best sh** you can get. I just love the fact that I can watch the traffic while being on the road to work, and the satisfaction of seeing people look at the car, and eyes bulging out when they see that it's TV down.

I'll get some pics soon,

I'll be honest, they feel very sturdy and they feel like they could stand up to a rearend hit.

You'll have a TV implanted in the back of your head.

Just kidding - the headrest is MUCH thicker than a TV (LCD) screen... shouldn't make much difference would be my guess.
