Default Chrome Silver 350Z Roadster... Seat Color?

Just picked up a Silver 350Z Roadster with a black leather interior. I REALLY like the burnt orange leather.... Do you guys this would look good if I could the seats upholstered with factory nissan leather in that color? (same material)
I like red too but I think it would look really off ?

Please tell me your opinions Thanks

This is something how mine looks


These are the orange burnt seats on a darker 350Z Roadster


These are pics form a nismo



Again, I dont know how they will look on my car since I don't have exact pics of these interiors on my chrome silver (alloy silver) color...

Orrr.. I can leave it stock with the black leather? Do tell, thanks.

The big benefit of the burnt orange seats (like pictured) is the fact they are ventilated. I have had three Z's currently have an 04 coupe and an 05 roadster with the burnt orange ventilated seats. I absolutely love the ventilated seats with the top down. Well worth the upgrade IMO.

If you are staying with the same type of seat I do like the red accents with black.

I have the silverstone with burnt orange black vented. I love the seats. I also used to have a silver S2000 with the red and black interior. I actually like the silver and red combo a little beter. The silver with burnt orange and black vented seem a little more sophisticated lol. Kind of like the all tan interior look.

Hmmm my black seats are heated too.... those are the same as the orange vented seats right? No difference except colour? If I got it wrapped, it won't have any effect on the heating and what not correct?

and yeah I am liking the red a bit more, but pretty much indifferent...

Well if they are all black leather they are not like the vented seats. I would have to see pics of yours. I would think that you should be fine either way. Just wrapping the seats shouldn't effect heating unless it is super thick wrap. My vented seats are heated as well.

I will try and get some pictures up of my old S2000 and my ZR.

The S2000 driver seat got worn pretty bad but you get the idea on the color combo. The pics of the ZR are when I first got it. It has changed quite a bit since then. The ZR seats are darker than they appear in the pics.

I think if you accent other interior pieces with that red, that would look awesome! Good luck and let us know what you decide.

Keep in mind in the vented orange seats the black part in the pictures is flow through mesh, you can see through it. That what makes them vented. The regular leather seats that have holes are not vented, they just have holes. When I was looking for my ZR that was a source of confusion when emailing owners or dealers. Some of the black seats have orange stitching but they again are not vented. I specifically wanted the vented seats and a silver car (mine is the darker silver) with a manual transmission, it is not that common but they are out there.

I never got a quote on how much a set of the vented seats would cost from the dealer but I would think they would cost quite a bit.

If I was going to get red seating I would want them two toned...like the newer s2000:
