i did my headrests...
i just cut the holes in the right places and placed the tubes for the rails of the headrest to slide into, into the back bench.
you cant move them up and down so they lock in place, and they deffo arnt very comfy, but they look good and if i hadnt of told you this then you wouldnt have been any the wiser tbh
besides, i hardly ever have more than one other person in my car anyways

Good progress. I would have personally only painted the calipers red and the rest black - more subtle.
Not too keen on the lights but thats your choice - same on rear badges - I'd have left that debadged and if you wanted those Veccy badges on, just have them on the doors or something.
Wheels look smart - good job How about also sourcing the remainding black dash bits for your car - would make those chrome door handles look really classy then

I Think You Should Defo Get Some Gsi Skirts And A Spoiler Mate, And Put A 97+ Bumpers On It And De-Badge it, And Keep Standard Lights
