    I just did it on my car. It was easy, but did take a couple of hours. The only part that made me nervous was cutting holes in the top of the leather seat back. It is most important that you take your time and get it exactly right the first time. The end result is great.

    Fantastic info, guys! Did you just follow the procedure on Bruno's site or did you have some other instructional info? Also, do you guys have any pictures of the finished result? And finally, should I buy the headrests new or from a salvage yard? Thanks for answering all my headrest-newbie questions!

    I bought mine on ebay and they came from a dismantler in the UK, they just needed a bit of leather cleaner to make them perfect. I don't have a photo, but it looks like it was made like that in the factory. I didn't use the procedure on Bruno's site, but it looks accurate having done it.
