Recaro headrests interchangeable?

[Highnote1]

Hey there. 
I love my seats but have never loved the halo headrests. I get a real “knight rider” vibe from them and always have. These are in perfect shape but I would trade with plain black vinyl or leather if they fit and matched. Anyone have any ideas? Are the posts the same for all styles? 
 

Anyone want to measure yours for me? Anyone want to trade? Thanks!!

The one from my LS-C measures 240mm center to center.  My understanding is that they're interchangeable.

 

I only have one and it's the factory cloth.  Personally I dig the halos.  I could be interested if you decided to sell them...

I can't read a tape measure.

On their after market seats of that era you could select the headrest style (some even had speakers built in) this would lead you to believe they will interchange.

Thanks guys. That’s what I was looking for. I had no idea.

I mean....I dig those net headrests. My dad worked for Recaro and says the mesh has likely been replaced at some point. Here are my current headrests, recovered in cloth to match my seats. Let me know if you're interested

So....my posts measure 9 and 3/8 inches apart? I found some e30 recaro headrests and they say posts are 6 and 3/8 and you guys said 140mm which is 5.5 inches. So some differences out there...dang.

Nope, I was wrong.  240mm c to c.  I'll change it above for posterity.

If you are referring to e30 sport seats, they are not made by Recaro.

Ok gotcha. I found some on eBay that he says are recaro and they are the 6 and 3/8 measurement.

I was gonna say the mesh looks to small, usually the original ones have bigger holes and are sagging by now.Those came from the factory in saleen mustang's and Recaro edition trans ams.
