hmmm... that's a heck of an idea. i hope there is an answer to this. Might be a custom job, though.

I don't know of a full orange boot, but I purchased a black leather boot with orange stitching. I ordered it from Courtesy Parts a while back.

Get the Euro Z's orange boot and shifter. If you want to take it to the next level, get the euro steering wheel as well, which has the bottom 1/3 upholstered in orange leather.

**EDIT**

My bad, the euro Z has a black boot but an organge shifter.



Im sure Katzkin leather can make a near perfect color match for the seats.

All the orange pieces in there are sweet. That is exactly what I am looking for. Where do I order that stuff from. Excellent, Z Boy that is what I am talking about Indeed.

cool stuff!

now if i can convince my wife I NEED these items. LOL.

So, Zboy, is that just the orange leather they show on their website? Is it a good match to the stock Z leather?

Did you call and make a special request? I don't see anything like that on their website (other than in pics, that is) for sale. And, finally, how much? Thanks for all the info.

Looks like they offer steering wheel applications, too.

i ordered bright orange, not burnt. i got the two seat covers, boot, and some extra leather for the steering wheel for like, $500. Problem is, my drivers side seat is now sloughing off by my left back pocket after only 8 mos. they will replace it, but they won't pay for install, and install is not something you should do yourself unless you have experience.

I checked the orange wheel/shifter/handbrake at a dealership in London when I got my steering wheel audio controls. When he told me the shift **** was 175 USD, we didn't even check the price on the steering wheel and handbrake.

I bought leather from leatherseats.com It was a perfect match. I do have extra leather which I could make more. The leather is straight from OEM factory. Leather seats.com charges i think 50 plus shipping. I will do it for $35 shipped. I will post pictures after this post as soon as I can upload them.

Here are the pics. I made a typo with the price they are $35 plus shipping and this is an introductory offer until MAY 15th. I can also make the orange leather with black or orange thread and black leather with any color thread. Also depending on the demand, I can make other color leather boots.

Soygod,
Looks very cool. Do you have enough BO leather left over to make a shift boot. If you do I would like to take you up on your offer. Please pm me.

soygod - so did you just call up leatherseats.com and ask for a piece of burnt orange leather? You said its OEM leather? So they called Nissan (or Nissan's leather supplier) and bought it from them?
