Headrests for 78-82 Seats

[Corvette Craig]

Just wondering:
Has anyone installed aftermarket headrests on 78-82 seats?
If so, got any pics?

How would you do it? The seats are tall...

I'm just looking for ideas.
I wouldn't care if the headrests were optional or not, I was thinking I could mount them on the hard plastic backing of the seats.
The 78-82 seats aren't that high that a smaller/ lower headrest could be mounted.

Has anyone seen slipcovers that slip over the top that say corvette on them

I've seen the CORVETTE printed covers.
You can order them from the Big 3 vendors, if I remember right there less than 100 bucks.

I have embroidered leather seat covers (actual seat replacements) I ordered a few years ago from a place in Tampa.

The 3 big vendors/ website?

why not just install later model seats, we have a set out of a 86 in ours and the ride difference alone was worth the work to put them in

Check the Portal for:
Corvette Central
Ecklers
MidAmerica

I think those are considered the Big 3 for catalogs and websites. You could also try The Last Detail.
Sorry, I don't have the websites handy, you'll have to let your keyboard do the walking!

CCARLSON...
The big three are:
CORVETTE CENTRAL www.corvettecentral.com
MIDAMERICA www.madvet.com
ECKLERS www.ecklers.com

Please note...l had a set of these (seat savers) from Corvette Central, the fit was O.K., but the black faded pretty badly after only a couple of years. Personally, I wouldn't waste the money, if your seats need recovering, look at the first website in Tampa.
Good Quality, and Good Prices.

I like the C4 seats, and wouldn't mind them in mine, but...
After completely refurbishing mine, I can't justify the expense.
