That thing on the headrest looks cool, but if your seats are like my '12s, no way I could keep them. My head is about 1/4" at the most from the stupid headrest (and that's with very short hair), which is pretty much the case in every new car, due to that new anti-wiplash law. If your headrest is little further back, with that 'hump' making it like mine, then it'd be perfect. But function over form for me . Enjoy them .

Thanks I had a local upholstery shop build them for me in leather. I really like the two tone color of the seats now that there done.

Car looks great Rayzzz...you set the bar for tasteful mods in my opinion.

That car does like your money.

I think your next mod is a steering wheel from Down South Vettes...Justasheet got one on his 05...looks great and feels awesome.

Nice idea on the steering wheel from Down South Vettes. Do you have any pictures of yours installed. Nice launch in the car by the way. I'd like to do that.

Can the steering wheels be changed without any mod to what's there now. I like the Idea of the 06 wheel do you have everything to swap these out and can you give me a price on what you want for it.

To swap the wheel you need to change the clock spring in the steering column. There used to be a sticky in the FAQ section. It's not so expensive, the airbag is what is expensive.

I've looked into it as our 05 wheel is big, the newer ones are smaller, but it's always been too expensive for me.

Gene Culley at GM Parts house knows what parts you need and has usually the best price on them.

I have the frame only so you'd need an airbag as well. Probably should have considered that initially. The frame is just sitting at the house so I'd sell it for little to nothing. Just no reason for me having it laying around.
