Default lower headrest

im sure that about no one on here cares.. but the ONE thing i hated about my gsr (or any stock seat) is the lame little metal posts from the seats to the headrest.. and in the gsr seats there is no way to make the headrest sit flush with the seat (withouts modding it) the reson is the first clicky part in the post is in a position that is too high so all i did was messure the post and cut a new slot to lock the rest into.. now the headrest locks flush with the top of the seat

My 5th gen seats weren't even adjustable... good little tip for those with GSR's.

yes.. there is not metal showing.. if you go look at a set.. and you push the headresh flush with the seat, it looks good.. but then if you pull it or move the wrong way.. it will slide back up (to the first lock position) which are the little grooves on the metal posts.. i simply measured and added another notch.. so it locks flush with the top of the seat

right i did not really explain it well the first time.. you could always put it down.. but it would always pop back up.. and that is what i found annoying.. and that is what this "mod" eliminated
