They definitely add some subtle color accents to the interior...but I don't think they do much for my taste...

i like 'em. yet another thing to distinguish you from stock. blue would be great for me, they would fit perfectly with my "ricer" dash cover!

I tried them out. Hated 'em and sent them back. They ratteled too much and were annoying to me.

I can understand that!If you look at my pic I kept the headrest low in order to avoid rattles.Sorry it didn't work out for you.

do these headrest shocks have a smaller hole in the blue ends that are just a tad larger than the diameter of the headrest adjusting bar or is it significantly larger than the headrest adjusting bar? im thinking a rubber grommet on the inside of the blue collars hole would make them snug and "NO RATTLES"...........what do you think"

Everyone has their own taste, if you like them, sport em. Personally I'm not a fan, I always keep my headrests on the bottom, I can't stand the bars showing.

Personally I'm not a fan, I always keep my headrests on the bottom, I can't stand the bars showing.for the headrest to actually work, the back of your head needs to be 1-2 inches from the middle of the headrest. I moved mine last year to that position and luckily i did. I was rear ended this past summer and if i had not done that, my neck would be killing me. imo headrests are like a unused and known resource for saving your neck/back/head in a crash that people dont use :/
