Carbon back headrest
Hey guys,
I believe these stick on over the existing plastic back headrest. Does anyone have any experience with these? Are they cheap and shit? |

I have those but I bought mine from IND. So I can't comment on the ones you've shown. Mine may be different. They look the same but who knows?
Overall they look cool once installed so if those are nice quality they will look good. I like mine. That is a good price as well. Yes they just stick on. |

Note if you have your interior ceramic coated like mine it will need to be removed for it to stick well. I had Ben install mine and as he said it wasn't sticking well. At home I had to remove them after some time and use a strong cleaning product to remove the coating. Other than that they are great and break up the solid black look in my vert.

Lot's but basically it just like the exterior version or wheel version, just designed for leather. I have silver stone leather and a convertible so I wanted to do everything I can to protect it. Just about two years in the AZ sun and it has performed very well. I don't remember off top of my head what brand my PPF guy uses but it is still slick. Not slick as in just cleaned with glossy cleaner but more of a soft/smooth feeling. I now have it on all my rides. Water just beads off and well don't ask how I know but coffee does too.....

Turns out it was a decent job as my detailer let me know they had to buff/remove the ceramic on the hood and front-end for the PPF install. Otherwise the PPF wouldn't stick whatsoever. |

Mine were free hand-me-downs from when they were used on a handful of local F80's and F97's. At $130 they're barely worth the price IMO.

Don't know sorry. IMO they're all likely made by a single source at that price-point & retailed by numerous resellers.

I mostly like mine, at a zero cost since they were given to me.

The ones I got from IND are basically flawless. Ye they are a nice improvement.
Mine look great and better than stock which is really nothing to look at. Nice thing is you see them thru the window as they are up high. If I had the vert these would be mandatory. |
