Sorry Law----wasn't even commenting on your headrests.....just noting the minor differences in how the seats came from the factory--all Nappa vs Nappa/Dakota hybrid. I'm sure it's not incredibly interesting----I'm just bored today.

So if anyboday is out there with one of those cars, they will have their mind blown by the color match. Everyboday else will have to wait for the leather to do its thing. Every piece of the leather that is cut off of the giant reams that we receive is a different cut. No 2 cuts the same, kind of like a diamond. But I will tell you this I will do my absolute best to get Jeff's Frankenstein style headrest redone in nappa / dakota. It will a project that is the first of it's kind so I am curious to see the results. 1 thing to remember is that the headrests, regardless of color match and material used, all have the same effect on children. It keeps them extremely quiet and that is the premise of my business. Law loves the kids just like Trick Daddy! Shot out to the 305!
