do you think cloth seats make a "convertible" look cheap? I have cloth but l get a lot of jokes from my friends. Not that big deal to me but wanted to know what other zr owners thought about it.

 

Hi and welcome as your first post ill be nice, to me yes it does look cheap but in the same sence if you aggressively drive your car ive noticed that the cloth seats hold you in your seat better than that of leather. So if your about looks you can get some leather seat inserts for a decent price.

Btw go ravens!!

 

Both can be a pain to deal with. But I will agree leather will give a car a more premium look sorta...

 

I bought new leather seats for mine and i love how they look...but if the temperature is above 65 their hot as hell...

 

My '08 Z coupe has cloth, and it's the only way to go. Cooler in the Summer, and warmer in the Winter. Nice and grippy, too, for spirited driving, and after 50K miles, they still look like new. I'd only have a Z with cloth seats.

I've also got 3 Alfa Romeo Spider's, all with original-style leather or vinyl seats. My @ss has been scorched countless times, since I only drive them with the top down on nice sunny days, and the seats are slippery, and sweaty, too. But in those cars, cloth seats just wouldn't look "right".

 

I didnt know cloth was even an option in the roadster. Buy a set of leather.

 

Considering how warm the sun can get them, I think cloth is a more reasonable choice for a 'vert. The leather looks better. It's a matter of choice I suppose...

yeah I had the lexus sc430 for 2 days than he called me and said a Nissan zr just came in. I test drove it No wood, no leather no nothing but felt like I was in a driving game when I first drove it. I gave the lexus back bought Nissan. I drive it everyday 35,000 miles in 1 year. Im at 90,000 now. Go Ravens sh*t crazy in Baltimore right now

 

I wanted to be different being there are no young black men with a Nissan zr in Baltimore just all luxurious cars. I get pulled over more in this car than someone in a Bentley or anything. I had 0 points this time last year with mva now I have 9 all speeding tickets.

 

there's pros and cons to both. leather heats up quick and scratches easily but it's also spill proof and looks great.

 

Leather definitely will look nicer, but cloth has its benefits too. Doesn't get too hot, doesn't get too cold. Leather is very classy though.

 

Cloth for a sports car feel and ride. Leather for a sedan or Auto coupe!

 

well put Highway Riding. My friends keep joking me so im uh order some this spring. Thanks

 

LEATHER! Getting my new skins Friday week.

 

Leather. The main benefit of cloth is that unmistakable rental car smell.

 

There's a Febreze for that! lol

 

For those that are considering leather, I have a set of immaculate burnt orange ZR seats for sale. There's pics in the FS thread:
