upstater Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Can you just buy two more center headrests probably a lot cheaper Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk No, the center headrest posts won't line up with the wider headrest posts (source: I just checked) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beamercub Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 Happy to see this thread has taken off. I'm willing to order them... It's worth the money. Better than having nothing and the OEM headrests floating around in my trunk... I'll take 2 in black leather please.. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigger73 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 OK I've just measured the Aus spec headrests (which should be the same as JDM) and the distance between the headrest posts is 130mm centre to centre. For the centre headrest this is 95mm so you can't shift the centre ones to the side even if you could find a way to purchase them. Beamercub if you're serious I'm happy to price up freight - unless you can find these on Japanparts or some other parts site.

MrCobbs Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 If I create a label from your local FedEx facility, can I pay for them and you can ship it for me? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarzy19 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 That's a shame that the black cloth has a different pattern. These would be perfect to increase visibility out the rear window for the driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigger73 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Update on the leather headrests. I went back to the dealers and as I suspected the leather headrest is a different price to the cloth - AUD$481.04 each (~US$360 each). Unfortunately they didn't give me the part number for these. Though they did say they can take PayPal payments if anyone is keen to take things further. Tigger73's MY15 2.5i build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3.0R-AUS Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I went back to the dealers and as I suspected the leather headrest is a different price to the cloth - AUD$481.04 each (~US$360 each). Mmmmm, anyone else think they're making good margin on these? I wanted to replace the leather cover on the driver's seat base as my side bolster is creased. Cost just for the leather cover? A$1200! (~US $900) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCobbs Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Yeah, I checked shipping and it wasn't too great. I think I may just remove them and let the headrests sit in the trunk cargo nets until I have the in laws back there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Roo Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I have to say, this has to be the funniest OP I've seen. On other threads, screw this car and Subaru in general, it's trash and wanders. Then there is this thread...yo I am interested in shelling out unnecessary amounts of money for some headrests that I'll never use.

AWDPLZ Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 You could make a killing collecting these from junkyards when the cars start getting more common there in a few years. Same with other Aussie and JDM-only parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
