    I think it's a vast improvement visually. Thanks for posting the pictures.

    Lower headrests..........A HUGE improvment when looking through the rear window.
    I do not like the rear seat tall head rests. Poor design.

    DOT must have mandated the taller headrests for rear passenger safety. Just a SWAG..:)

    Glad to see I'm not the only one who chooses to leave the centre belt stowed. :)

    Obviously also glad the Aussie c comes with lower headrests in the back. :p

    Hmmm... does the lower profile OE rear center headrest fit the left & right rear seats?

    Nop, the center rest head stands are closer than the left/ right ones, plus the center one the stands are not centered.

    You know that was intentional on Toyota's part.

    I've got them in a bag in the trunk. But first I canabalized a swimming pool noodle to wrap around all the spikes. I tried pipe insulation but they don't splice as clean.

    On my Honda Odyssey. I removed the third row headrests and use to keep them loose, cargo netted to the sidewall storage nooks. But one day when I dropped the rear bench into the floor well, the spikes were sticking out and punctured the leather. From then on, in a bag with the spikes covered. The uncovered spikes also use to leave crush marks on top of another when stacked together.

    You wouldn't mind revealing the seller's name would you? Just in case he has more. Searching for "Yaris headrests" on Ebay is a frustrating experience that returns mostly sales of seat covers. Dealer quoted me $395.00 per head rest! Going to check junk yards, next, but don't expect too many 2009s to be off the road yet. Does anyone know the Yaris well enough to say what other years might have the same headrest design?

    I was lucky to get them, the seller is Kudautoparts. It's a huge improvement in the visibility.

    For the PC4 the best match is the FJ Cruiser head rest, do some research :)
