Ron@SE,

How much do you charge to install per headrest. If you do not want to discuss prices over the forums, drop me an e-mail at ap0718@clublexus.com

Also, where are you located--city, and state

We are in South Plainfield, NJ......

Install charges depend upon car, but generally range from $150 - $350 depending on WHAT KIND of install you want done (i.e. frameless raw module done like the picture below would be more)

That is a very nice setup---the second picture that is. I like the flush look---give it a classy feel, but $150-350 per headrest is a little steep, don't you think? Most custom upholstery shops, which can be found in most cities, will do a headrest for anwhere between $80-150 a piece---that's a big difference. Just something to think about---because that is what I am doing.

Just my two cents

Thanks for the input...I have been doing it for about 4 years now, and have not had any complaints due to the quality of the job. Everything is redone in BRAND NEW, factory material, stitched to perfection with a full warranty on the material (tearing, wearing, stitching, etc etc). Plus, each car is different....not all headrests can just be cut open and monitors mounted....there is fabrication that goes into a lot of them to make them sit nicely and make then extremely hard to be removed (stolen). We pride ourselves in our work and our customer service
