I do not understand what you want exactly.
If you want the whole header with grey background, you can try to do something
like this:
\usepackage[dvips]{graphicx,color}
\usepackage{fancybox}
\definecolor{mygrey}{gray}{0.9}
\setlength{\fboxsep}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\fancyput(\oddsidemargin,-2.5\headheight){\colorbox{mygrey}
{\phantom{\rule{\textwidth}{1.5\headheight}}}}
\lhead{text...}
\rhead{}
\chead{}
If only the header's text should be in a grey box, you could try
\usepackage[dvips]{graphicx,color}
\usepackage{fancybox}
\definecolor{mygrey}{gray}{0.9}
\setlength{\fboxsep}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhead{}
\fancyhead[L]{\colorbox{mygrey}{\parbox[c][<boxheight>]{<boxwidth>}{text}}}
HTH,
