Looks great.

I had the same issue with my seats when I bought my car. Turns out the foam installed was the cheap variety ($79 as I recall) so I bought the $200 set, had the seats redone, and now I can drive without my head rubbing on the headliner. And I'm barely 5'10" so it's not like I'm extremely tall.

I'm just not 100% sure I like the look of mixing new/old styles. Anyone look into fitting a seat from a year with headrests?

I'm not 100% in love with the style of the modern GTO seat. I have thought about having a local guy recover them like a 1967 seat so they blend a bit better. The stock low backs look better for sure, but they suck to ride in. The 06 seats are worlds better in terms of comfort and adjust ability. Its a no brainier for me.

The foam set was from opg and was the good set.
