Default Looking for head rests

I bought a 2011 xD and the rear head rests are giant. I really like the style of head rests for the '08-'10 models. Any ideas where I can get them. Anyone want to trade. I will pay for shipping.

I agree-they block vision out the rear window for me. I was thinking of purchasing two 'middle, rear' head rests to solve this problem.

Someone please post what the 08-10 style one look like.

it removes that uncomfortable bulge that forces ppl to lift them up in the first place. granted they lose most of its functionality, but passengers are meant to suffer sometimes lol.

I have a 2013 Scion xD, and also can't stand the two giant head rests. Thankfully the center head rest is short and stubby, so it grants at least a little rear visibility. Plus, I rarely have passengers in the back seat anyway.

One thing I have noticed though, the center head rest seems to sit at a small slant. I didn't really notice it until I installed the cargo cover. The driver-side side of the headrest seems to sink in deeper than the passenger-side, and I'm trying to figure out a way to level the headrest. I know it isn't really a big deal, but it bugs the hell out of my OCD!

Don't worry, it won't be long before you forget all about the headrest. This is your good time, wait until your water pump goes out, the car won't start for no apparent reason or you vapor canister fills up with water.
