    How To Acquire Non-US Spec Head Restraints for a US-spec CX-5

    They are not consistent at all about shipping. I've paid almost $60 combined for shipping 2 packages now (will go up to $70 if they come back and ask for another shipping increase like they did on the first package), so I definitely wish I went with Japanparts. I have one headrest, and am still...

    How To Acquire Non-US Spec Head Restraints for a US-spec CX-5

    Good info, thanks. I'm just sharing my experience so that someone who comes across this forum searching for the same thing I was searching for can make an informed decision. And it gets worse!

    How To Acquire Non-US Spec Head Restraints for a US-spec CX-5

    Now the Impex site is saying that I have a shipment, but it's only one headrest and shipping will be $22 USD. I don't see an option to wait and pay for both of them to ship as one package.

    How To Acquire Non-US Spec Head Restraints for a US-spec CX-5

    I just checked my order and it was suspended for delay of shipment until 6/30/16. I guess I don't mind waiting, it's still almost $70 cheaper than japanparts was going to be. But I did not receive an email about this, and I would not have seen it if I didn't log in to their site to check, so...

    How To Acquire Non-US Spec Head Restraints for a US-spec CX-5

    Thank you everyone for the details and research provided! Last week when I checked, the Impex store wasn't listing the 2016 head rests, but as of today they were showing up in the search. I just ordered 2 x part # K072-88-240 02 for $95 (I think I'll get a separate invoice for the shipping...
