The same material that is on the side of the headrests is also on the side of the seats and also as inserts on the bottom and top portion of the seats.

That would be tricky to replicate then. The sides do look like Dakota IMO, but obviously the main part is definitely Nappa.

Yes those are the knives, you can have them if you pry them from my cold dead hands.

I know, I am putting a lot of trust in Lawrence.....

Seeing that front and backs of my stock headrests are Nappa leather, I think we could get away with wrapping the whole thing in Nappa leather. But I do have to agree with you Mike, the two tone leather would be tough. I don't know how it would look with the boxier style headrest. But I think it would look good to keep the flow from the seat to the headrest. Plus the rear seat headrests are the same style as well.

But figuring this out is why Law gets paid the big bucks. Now I am just waiting for some kick backs.

Not to take this on a tangent, but I've never seen the different leather used like that....on my 4.6 the headrest and seat sides are both Nappa....wonder if it's maybe a cost cutting move they did for the 2004 restyle?

That's a good question. I don't think the 'is models ever came with Dakota leather. I do know they are the only ones that had Nappa leather, and even the models that had the Alcantara / Leather option, the leather used was Nappa. Maybe Nappa comes in different textures?

headrest installation

Hi Guys,

I am also one of Law's very very happy customers, just wanted to add thought that you do not need to take off the back of the seats, I just phished the wires down the headrest tubes and after a bit of waggling they drop out of the bottom quite easily, I have done this a couple of times. No real issues.

The screens are still going strong here in the uk Lawerence and I get lots of comments about them .One of the screens still doesnt like the cold though, it takes a couple of minutes to warm up , it obviously didnt like being taken away from the California climate. LOL
