I've long envied you A-Model owners as your forward (and rear facing) seat has a higher back with headrests. Much more comfy on long hauls and better neck support for the whiplash thing.

On the other hand, our J-Models slick Vegas style lounge seat is perfect if the 'Rat Pack' is stopping over to help drain a couple of pitchers of Margarita's, but seriously lacking for long road work.

If any of you agree that the J-Model seat backs suck and have thought about changing out the forward interior for an A-Model diner setup, here's an option:

Materials: 2-headrests (the two post type) from the wreckers. I took the upholstered panel covering the converter and fuse panel compartment to try to match the color best I could.
Cost: $20 Canadian buck-a-roos.

Hope this helps someone, someday.
