i agree with the live ur life part, and i wont NOT get it if its a tad bit worse for u, but i still am curious to know if its more dangerous, as in if i get whiplashed would i be ok with that neck rest?
Has anyone whose had them them got rearended yet?
In some weird way i feel like it caould possibly reduce the effects of whiplast cause ur neck would be held in place (if ur wearing a seat belt and its a light crash), but then again i guess it can make it worse if ur not wearing ur seatbelt and u lunge forward then back enough that ur neck hits the pad, and ur head continues to travel back to the headrest causing messed up upperneck injuries. lol. just thinking out loud.

i got beige interior as well im thinkin black. im gonna be getting the black floor mats as well then i think it will match nicely.
I already have the black all-weather floor mats but I'm still "iffy" with black. I want to see how it looks first, especially in the back.

There not really 'white' but more a eggshell white. So dont worry.
Does that mean you suggest I get white instead of black?

Err... wait maybe i've confused myself... the black matches black and the cashmere matches cashmere... BUT i only know black since my int is black and i've never really gave the other color a hard look, nor have i held it up too the tan int...

Yea sorry my discription of eggshell was wrong.

take a pic of ur interior and ask someone to photochop the white/ eggwhite/ tan one onto urs.
I also like the tissue box covers. completes the set

Btw i was talking about the carpets front and rear not the floor mat. thats wat im gonna do

hey just so u know the black doesnt completely match the black interior of the IS, so im sure if there is a difference in the shde of the color it wont look that bad.

We currently still have a few left of the Toms neck pads,and the back supports from the GB we ran a while ago. The difference is the Toms uses memory foam in their peices, so no "break in" needed at all.

We can also get Garson neck pads fairly quickly, depending on what type you like.

^^^ How much are those Garsons and do they come in Cashmere color?

Btw i was talking about the carpets front and rear not the floor mat. thats wat im gonna do
I see, so the black ones will match much better in your car. How much is it going to cost to get that done? It doesn't sound like it's going to be cheap.
