Finished up the new pillows for the headrest and they came out pretty good. Not to mention the interior of the car has greay roof and pillars. So these neck pillows accentuate the interior quite well. Will have to see what's next on the list for Interior work.

Pillows
Stopped by one of the local fabric shops and found some poly-foam.
This foam is normally used for upholstery and cushioning. We had a pair of neck pillows which one was lost in a rental car. "Lost" cuase they claimed they never found it. So we decided to use the one to make our own set of neck pillows. Bought about half a yard of the foam since it was on sale and now our neck pillow project begins.
And just for the record. cutting foam is easier with an electric carving knife if you don't have a foam saw. But shaving is a whole different story. As long as the shape is similar the foam itself won't be seen. The fabric will be a PVC black leather with gray trim.
