      Thanks everybody who posted with the helpful info on my post . I am still learning a lot about my E30 since I came from the VW scene .
      Looks quite good. Is that an aftermarket upholstery kit, and if so from where?

        I did mine, wish i had a better picture. I think my rears are from an e28 though, they have always looked "big" to me.

                            I found them to have different post angles but see my note below.

                            Maybe I got mutant headrests but I found 'vert rear headrests to have different rear post angles. I also had a mix of e30 & E36 headrests around so I may have grabbed an E36 pair by accident.

                              I measured vert headrest I had laying around, they had the skins removed but measured around 4” at the base and 3” at the top. The coupe headrests I measured still have the skins on and measured closer to 4.75” base and 4” at the top. Could just be what I have laying around but my upholstery guy is telling me they’re different.

                                Headrests do change shape over time so it's hard to tell.
