ditto on '99; driverside seats & headrests are wider than the passenger side--fascinating observation. so now we know where to assign the plump/scrawny ones for optimum comfort.

I swear you guys make me notice the weirdest things. The reason the passenger side rear headrest is smaller then the driver size rear headrest is becase there is a CENTER SEAT BELT there. Thats the price we pay for having the center seat belt system be a 3 pt seat belt instead of the lapbelt. IMO Acura should have made both sides small so they match but oh well. Doesn't bother me.

Like I said before, The center 3 point seat belt goes there, thats why one side of the head rest is smallter then the other. If they wanted to cut cost, they would just made the bigger side smaller and save on leather.

wow..good pic..really shows the diff...i didn t realize the front seats were that off eaither.....i think they should of just moved the center seat belt over or n ot have it at all...in the tls you head touches the ceiling when you sit there anyway....plus..i always have the center armrest down and i never carry anyone there becaue i afraid it will deform the seats..

btw....i like how in hte g35 the rear headreast move up and down...makes the car look classier...and the reclining bench

I looked on my '02. They are definitely different. Don't see why it matters.
