Alright...do you ever have car stuff days which are entirely dedicated to fixing what you previously messed up? And if you hadn't touched it, if you had just let it alone, you wouldn't have had to redo it in the first place?
Well...
I love my new front headrests; love the shape, and the color is the next best thing to finding the actual Light Prairie Tan units.
But the rear...first of all, the color over black came out almost greenish, very different from the front:
And then I had to ask myself: why are they there in the first place?
When I first installed rear headrests, it was to create more of a big 4-seater look, to make the rear seat more complete. But at this point, all they really did was infringe on rearward visibility.
What to do? There are holes in my seat. So I went to the junkyard, got some fabric of similar fadedness, went to the crafts store, and got a fabric-covered button set. Voilà, holes covered, and I have a little bit of an 80s tufting look. I should never have cut those holes to begin with...but this is an acceptable remedy.
