hey, lee... it is pretty easy to install, as long as your hands are small enuf to reach some pretty tight spaces under the seat and around the back - the covers come wit well made ties n straps for a great fit. It does take a few weeks for the order to be delivered from southern cali but it is worth the wait.

I'm thinking about doing this in blue/black on a DB Roadster ... not for heat (since I already have Frost), but to help keep the seats clean ... now that some time has past, what do you think about your decision?

Unless you get the vented seats when you buy the roadster they run 4k a seat... At that price nobody can afford them after the fact...

Are the BO Vent seats available for all models?
Based on the Nissian website when you "build your own Z", the BO is only available on the Magnetic black or Silverstone colors, and all other colors get the "!" symbol.

I wouldn't mind getting the BO seats with Silver Alloy, but I'm not sure if thats an option...Any insight?

I ordered black and blue seats for my roadster from Wet Okole, I'm going to go pick them up and have them install them in the next couple of weeks. From the pics on their site, they seats look REALLY nice, but I'm anxious to see if they look as good in person...

Totally forgot about the Lemans Sunset...Thanks for the confirmation on the color selection. I guess it's Black for me, though the Silverstone is growing...I have to really see each color in person.

Just FYI guys, if you are looking into getting seats they are doing a group buy on leather seats. Here is the link..

I didn't like the black, got dirty too quickly ... Silverstone is great, but everyone has silver-something ...

The Lemans Sunset actually grew on me, but not so much on the SO ...

Sooo ... I went with DB since it had the light-colored interior ... figured if I couldn't have the Ventilated Seats, I'd go with something not so dark ...

I have an 06 roaster w/ the new cloth seats the 06 has.. i had leather in my former car (a MINI)... the cloth in this car is better than I've had in any other car.. in a convertible.. leather (in my opinion) isn't worth it

cloth in a roadster looks way too cheap, leather in the summer does get pretty hot, but i think its worth the pain

I just prefer the leather in the roadster because it's easier to wipe down ... in case of sudden rain or spray or something ... whereas cloth might stain a little easier (not to mention absorb stuff).

Nissan should of made ventilated seats standard on the touring edition roadster, maybe make them with black trim and have the burnt orange trim as a option....

I totally agree. The new cloth they are using in the 06's is very nice. One of the best cloth interiors I have seen.
