What do you think of this headrest design?

I think you're right.

The more I think about it, I think that Superformance should offer the Australian-style headrests here in North America, as a dealer upgrade at a reasonable up-charge. If customers are really concerned about whiplash protection, this seems like the best solution. Well designed and integrated, and effective.

I've been looking for the rollbar plexiglas windscreen that was around a few years back. Not really a headrest to prevent whiplash as these are but more to help cut back the wind buffeting.
I believe they had nice looking aluminum brackets and plexiglas cut to fit the rollbar.
Anyone know if these are still around and who makes / sells them?
thanks

zzmac, I think they look great. They mesh with the shape of the rollbars.

If you can keep the mounting bracket inconspicuous and the price reasonable, I would consider them.

That's the plan.
