    Yes. Not really a conversion. Everything is there. Remove. Add hardware, poke holes, reinstall. Put in headrests.

    I think there is a write up with photos.. but.. really it shouldn't be much brain hurt.

      I did it on mine. The only concern is I had to undo the seat skins off the top of the back seat to get the metal brackets in. Wasn't an issue since I already had hog rings and pliers from redoing the interior.

        I didn't see any need to remove skins. The backs of the seat are not covered. There is a pocket for the brackets. The seats are designed with headrests in mind.

                  I can't remember why I had to take them off. The brackets wouldn't fit without it. With a stock interior you'd be fine. I think I stretched my fabric further down than stock.

                          So they are rear specific headrests or just regular headsets will fit? Where did you get the hardware from? Would love to do on mine if i could find some cardinal ones.

                            You can et the hardware at ECS Tuning and sometimes on eBay.

                            Super easy swap as mentioned above. There is a write up on it.

                              i think the look really nice but they kind of suck when it comes to rear visibility/head check issues. i have been thinking about doing it, but I'm not very excited about increasing the possibility of changing lanes into another motorist.
