UPDATE: $%*$%#ing @#$*& of &@!# government!!! AAAAGH!!!

So after calling around to a few places in Vegas, including one very good body shop I've used in the past... NOBODY will touch modifying the headrest on a new car. Because it's labeled as a "safety system" (and yes, I will continue to use sarcastic quotes around that phrase), they won't modify them for fear of violating the law, or exposure to lawsuits.

So, let's recap. Car purpose built for driving fun, as the successor to the venerable AE86, that I've waited five years for... undone by one STUPID piece of foam and fabric. <beating... head... on... desk...>

Well, if I gotta violate the law to be able to drive my car comfortably, might as well go big or go home. Who's got the proper airbag-system-tricking resistor identified for those aftermarket seats? I think I need me some Brides.

Interesting. Wonder what the rationale is for the change after all these years? Wonder if it has to do with traditional manuals going away and flappy-paddles replacing them?
