Default Burnt Orange Pieces Incoming

Several days ago, I sent an ebrake and auto trans shift **** to Don at Dallas Steering Wheel for leather work. Today, he sent me sent pics of magic worked...



Thus far, they look outstanding! I will inspect them further upon receipt. ETA by weekend

That looks really nice. What color is your interior?

Edit: Hiya from South Orange County.... I just noticed you live right near me. You should head out to an irvine meet, I'm the only roadster there.

Edit Again! I think I've seen you in my condo complex in RSM. I saw your spoiler in another post just now...

I'm in Tustin, to be exact. My ZR is black with the optional vented seats (burnt orange color). These pieces should accent the seats. I plan to do the steering wheel in the near future, however, I will need to find a temporary steering wheel while the orig. is being re-leathered.

I will try to attend a meet. Thus far, all the meets have been on days I work. Certainly, I would be interested in meeting other Z enthusiasts in The OC.

Should look pretty good installed.

I would advise against the steering wheel, though. Believe it or not, your hands are dirty. over time that orange/tan will get very dirty.

Wouldn't a good cleaner work on the wheel, or keep some hand cleaner around.

Buck-fifty for both (including shipping items back to me). I did pay around $10 shipping (to Dallas). I think it is reasonable, however, it's a subjective matter. Did shop around though. Found several shops that wanted a bill for each item + shipping.

Thats not bad at all for what you getting. A custom look that not everyone else has is worth more. I think you did good and its ultimately whatever makes you happy.

Yes...that's not bad at all considering Nissan wants around $130 for the burnt orange EOM shift **** (european version). I really want it, but have been waiting until extra $ falls into my lap because it seems a ridiculous price for just a shift ****.

Very nice!

I have the ventilated/burnt orange seats; Nissan offers the ebrake handle and shifter **** in that same color (BO)? Right now I have black leather on those.
