Roadster ventilated seat parts... Help?
Having a problem finding the leather bolsters or complete cover replacement for the rare ventilated seats. Mine are starting to have the typical bolster cracking and light wear form 5 years and in/out. Maybe another owner has had some success and can share information or solution. These seats are rare and my local Nissan parts dept argued with me and told me they're aftermarket :icon22 I've tried courtesy parts and google searches come up empty.

Talked with him... Not much help. They don't stock and don't have a print available for these seats. I guess I'll need to look into custom options, however I'm expecting those quotes to be high.

I spoke with Bill from leatherseats.com back in 09 to try and get a matching shiftboot and the doorpanel leather matched to the roadster orange. After a bunch of back and forth pics and color swatches, he couldnt get a close match and custom dye wasnt really an option. Best bet is to search for better seats (there were some for sale on my350z) or get them recovered in a more readily available color.
I plan on redoing my seats eventually and getting all the matching stuff at the same time.
BTW the roadster orange and the coupe burnt orange are totally different colors:

Thanks... I see there's a major difference. They sent me an email with a quote today. The quote was outrageous and the color wasn't what I had in mind. I think I'm going to look into a few local custom shops.
