With the Sport model we have the cloth seats, I don't mind the seats at all, but looking at them from the rear the headrests on those seats are ridiculously large. I wish we could swap out the headrests with something not nearly as large, these things are massive, too big.

Someone on here just did exactly what with the headrests from a different Nissan.

Thank you for the link. They are definitely lower, I would just want to be sure they are safe, and not too low. i know the tops of the headrests need to be close to the top of your ears to be in the safe zone. Definitely worth looking at further, thank you
I'm the one that did that. They are still adjustable, so you can put them at any height you want, I just like the look of them bottomed out. At that height, the contour perfectly matches my neck up to the back of my head (I'm 5'11"). Soooo much more comfortable than before.

Also, you could go with a 350Z headrest as well. Sportier style, but much smaller than the Sport headrests. Pretty much any headrest from any Nissan or Infiniti after ~2003 will fit, as long as it doesn't have integrated audio. Even the headrest from my Ariya fits! Didn't look great, lol.

And yes, the stock Sport ones are absolutely ridiculous.

Thank you for the added information, I applaud you for the work on this and for searching for a different headrest. Raising them up and being adjustable is good so it may work well. I will see if I can do this on my car, getting a smaller one would be good, thanks
