Default Euro Spec Rear Headrest?

Anyone know of a source for the Euro Spec (non-North American market) rear headrest (similar to picture below) in MAGMA RED? I think these are better for rear-vision since they're shorter and out of the way

.
Thanks

The one which comes in the back middle of our cars is the type you're looking for correct? Does the middle one (on your car) fit the sides? If so you could just order 2 middles. This would of course be too simple and I'm sure you'd already have thought of it. But just in case it would work.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try it out. Some others have given me links on where to buy the headrest so perhaps now I can compare the cost of 2 centers vs 2 euro sides..

Euro Price has them retail for $798 pair. Nice as they may appear to be, I'm going to think about it for a bit.

Yeah. I took mine out tonite to see if there was an improvement in rear vision. The way I have my mirrors set, I'd be picking up very little more. Definitely not $798 more.

Where then can it be bought cheaper? OP's link shows a price of $589 for leatherette and $798 for leather w/stitching to match cars upholstery. And by the way, that was a price from Europe w/out all the added on taxes and freight.
thanks in advance......

In this thread, the second one down, Malkiy,, has a link to Europrice. That is where I got the price. If you have some other suggestions for a different supplier, I would be interested along with a couple of other folks.
