Default buying a z soon and have ?s

Guys,

Can you get factory leather on an enthusiast model? If you can;t does anybody have any pics of aftermarket leather? Can you get any of the dealer options(ie..aero kit, sills,nav) after you purchase the car? Or does it have to be during your purchase? ANy other advice you can give me?

Thanks,

Spiro

Spiro, You can ONLY get factory leather on the touring model. It's not available from the factory on any other model but many dealers do offer after-market leather. Best bet is to consult your local dealer

You can also find some people selling their stock spoilers after they get new ones. Just have to look.

And I have yet to see anything in the Navigation department that I like more than stock. So, I'm still bitter that they screwed up my order, and left the Nav off.

honestly I have leather, and Ive seen pictures of aftermarket, some of those 2 tone leathers are really cool... the leather isnt that impressive to me, but the heated part... mmmmmm and I dont think you can get that aftermarket, not that ive heard of.

navigation... 350Zspeedracer is correct, altho there are atleast 4 people (including me) trying to get it aftermarket, I dont think anyone has 100% set it up, but soon. chazz is probably the closest to completion with a noninvasive setup that could do navigation for you. the biggest problem is interface, without touchscreen you must have a mouse or keyboard, basicly you cant have a simple keypad like the stock nav has. but of course you get quite a few features stock nav doesnt have, namely anything your computer can do.

Plenty of places to get the heated seats. In fact, that group buy on leather thread that was around for awhile had reference to it. I think it generally runs $100/seat.

I currently have a Alpine MDA-W988J deck in my CL, which I will use temporarily. Eventualy I will get the IVA-C900 with NAV. I dont know what route to take as far as NAV is comcerned.

How did you like your Alpine MDA-W988J? I have one brand new, but may sell it.

So I didn't look at the date, sue me. Seems like someone has too much free time.

If you are interested in aftermarket leather interiors check out the following website:

Seems they have reasonable prices
