headrests suck

I ve been in 2000 maxima gle today. I dislike the headrests. anyone else has a problem with that? any advice?

i think they are angled little too much to the driver which makes it uncomfortable for me

P.S. does maxima 2000 has a lumbar support?

I turned mine around about a week after I got my car and they've been that way ever since. 100x more comfortable. I have a couple pics on my homepage...

If you think those headrests are too far forward, DON'T get a Saab. After a year of driving it I think my neck has changed shape and I'm developing hump back.

Then get some 2k2-2k3 headrests from a junkyard. Mine are so comfortable (even made from tough leather) that I almost always rest my head on them when I drive. Much thicker than the 2k-2k1 headrests. You can see them on my homepage pic (through the window).
