The headrest is the most expensive option.

Lots of cushion for the headrest.....I'm guessing after a couple bumps and
quick stops your side to side vision would be obstructed. ( now thats gotta
hurt no matter how strong your neck is )
I'm kinda digging the hood ornament / headlight trim .....wonder if its
a stock piece or just available on certain models ??
