Default Best Mod I ever did to the RS4 in terms of comfort...

<center><img src="http://members.***.net/ijon/photo.jpg"></center><p>I wanted to get around to posting this when I had first did this and never found the time. Heck I almost sold the car before I took a single picture and then leaned forward and my wife took the one on the seat while I was driving to sell the car...

Not sure about many of you but I found the gap between my head and the headrest uncomfortable, I always wished the headrest would pull forward because if I leaned my head back against it I would be looking at the sky!

So I had a leather shop sculpt out of memory foam an attachment that forms to the factory headrest and is attached at the pillars. it fits snuggle and looks very OEM The leather is off a Lambo and very, very close and he even put matching piping.

Regardless, it made a HUGE difference. I actually felt very comfortable in the Recaro seat once installed, in fact it was wonderful.

I do have pictures of the actual making of the piece and it was done in Redondo Beach if any of you need the contact information let me know.

I have this one for sale but someone asked first so I will await a response.

Pulled the mats out as well and they are pretty nifty too.

Your head rest didn't tilt forward? My S4 does...

Default Yes it does that but only ends up pushing the top of your head!

Not very comfortable.

Mine don't seem to move at all... never bothered me, but it does seem strange.
