Default Leather VS. Brembos

This is killing me - I want a track model - but I am so used to leather...

maybe Katzkins or some other aftermarket?

anyone else thinking about this issue?

try a search on carbon cloth

The enthusiasts want the Brembos!!! Get a local shop to install leather, should run approx. $600-700 PER seat.
well - call me a yuppie then - good leather with nice side bolsters vs. cloth floats my boat anyday


yeah - I figure aftermnarket leather is what I will do - I would just love to have the OEM Nissan leather on the track model...

i'm pretty sure that the OEM leather is a dealer option so now you can get the leather on any model I believe. someone correct me if i'm wrong.

It has been reported earlier, & my dealer confirmed it, that leather WILL be a dealer installed option for non-touring Z's. All factory colors, plus a few 2 color choices. I haven't heard prices yet. I'll attach a photo of what is supposed to be a prototype.

Just went to NissanDriven, and leather is listed under accessories. The description says the shown example is 2 tone, but my image is burnt orange. Even if they are supplied by classissoftrim, they will carry factory warranty.

I had leather in my other car, and the cloth seats in the Performance are so much better. Leather feels cold in the winter (so you NEED the heated seats feature) and super-hot in the summer. It's slippery and doesn't grip you nicely in the corners. And it cracks with age. The cloth seats are really grippy, never hot or cold, and always feel great. And no heater required!
