I think it would look great with or without the headrest, just think what would go best with the rest of the car..

They would be great if you could work up a headrest that isn't integrated. Is there enough frame at the top to bolt a polished stainless or aluminum "loop" with a matching upholstered pad to it?

Mine are mounted with a peice of angled steel welded to stock seat frame at the proper angle for the seat back.This is a pic before a polished peice of angled aluminum was mounted between seat and frame to cover the top of the seat frame.I'll see if I can find an after pic.

Hi,
I welded a piece of steel all around the original seat frames to sit a little higher in the car.
First is a pic of the modified seat frame inside the car and a seat that was already testmounted on the driverīs side.
Second pic shows my seats mounted on the painted seat frame.
Third pic shows my friend Christian/DFLīs old interior which has a way better looking upholstery right now. He uses modified VW seat frames, too.
4th pic shows my seats installed in the car.
Bye,
Tobi

you speak the truth!  How do you mount these to get them to flip up to access the back seats? I assume there must be some universal frames you can get? |

i've got all the porsche frames for the 914 seats, including the handle to flip the seat forward - which would be frickin convenient!
but to do that you've got weld a block for the handle. but i've got no clue how and where...

i'll be around my stuff on saturday.
hope i won't forget to get it out for pics, but do a search on the porsche mechanism. i've had a look at that one in a proper 914. looks nifty, but our floorpan is a whole lot lower from the seat.
