Default Burnt orange seats in Daytona Blue roadster?

When i was shopping for my Z I really was torn between the daytona blue and the orange seats and would have loved to have both. The only option we have here is the grey seats in the blue Z.

What I'm asking is if anyone has tried to put in the burnt orange seats in the DB Z and if so... pic please?

Blue and orange is not a bad combo. It probably looks pretty good. I would like to see this as well.

Didn't the late lamented Howard Johnson's restaurants use blue and orange?

Somehow I don't think it would look good in a car.

Are you talking about the net seats or regular? All orange would be pretty contrasting against the blue. Too bad nissan didn't make the net seats with grey leather.

Agree with Bubble on this one, especially if you have frost interior to begin with. This will give you a combination of 4 colors: blue exterior and orange, gray, and black interior. Too many colors, in my opinion, and orange will look out of place.

blue and orange are complimentary colors so in theory it will look good.

Here is an idea--- When I had my S2000 my friend Rick Hesel teamed up with Towsend leather, they matched leather to Honda's color. You should contact Townsend leather and ask if they can match the frost leather and you can purchase the skins. Goto to a leather upolstery sop and ask if they can replace the new skins on the ventilated seats. They should be able to. I know my shop can do these. If you do this, you could probably get the Z logo stiched in also. Find a pair of these seats here or on Ebay.

Its not my cup of tea but it does not look terribly out of place like I thought it would. In what color exteriors can you get the orange seats?

The seats only come with the Le Mans Sunset, Magnetic Black and Silverstone color Roadsters.

Default Burnt orange seats

I debated a Silver Alloy or Blue 06 Z with the burnt Orange Ventilated leather and the dealership swapped seats from a Silverstone Z for me. Im sure if you talk to the dealership they would do the same for you. After seeing the pics of the blue/burn orange combo, I wish I had taken that combo....

GSTOM, very sexy. If I could part with my black & B/O..... blue and B/O would be my next choice.

Did you have to get the seats from a secondary source?

Hello Hitlines,
My 350 was made specially for a guy at Nissan Europe. This Guy left Nissan before he gets his car so it was for sale on my local dealership.

Here are a new picture of my roadster:

When I was looking to buy a ZR I wanted either the DB or the SB but the BO seats were a must. I looked into purchasing the BO seats and putting them into the DB. I think it looks nice if the rest of the interior is black (wouldn't work IMO with the light gray dash). The dealer quoted me $1,100 for the seats if I wanted to have installed (I was looking at slightly used Z's so a swap wasn't really an option). In the end I went with the SB because I couldn't find an used Touring DB within 600 miles.
