It cost $35/per headrest. Not worried about the trade in issue. My i traded in my GS400 they didn't even test drive it or look inside it just looked at the outside.

I went to a local Embroidery shop. Stopped in and said can you put my name in my headrest.... He said yea if you take the leather off the headrest. I ripped it off for him, picked out the font and size and color. Went back 30mins later and it was done.

Do you think i should get the back middle headrest with a Lexus emblem on it???

Love the Desert Sage... when I got mine last year there was not one to be found... did you have to order it? Of course Obsidian was about equal in choice, but that Desert Sage is so unusual and beautiful.

I searched around for this color, i had to have black leather too! I bought it CPO. I love the color, my second choice would be GFM.


Would you guys have flamed me if i got dollar signs in my headrest?? I almost got them... $$

Totally solved the problem about trade in issues! Bought a set of headrests from TrinityHK from the classified! 80 Bucks can't beat that

No pics. Its easy though maybe took me 30 seconds to take off the leather... Just un-snap the clip that holds the leather on and pull it off.
