Default My Burnt Orange Leather Install

Ordered from Leatherseats.com. Great to deal with. The ONLY company that would do the custom embroidery that I wanted. Had a local upholstery shop do the install. I love the color combo!

I'll have to look up the price on the seats, I don't remember. Group buy price + digitizing fee for emblem($75/I think) + $40 each side for seat embroidery. Thats close.

Install was $140, $70 each side. Had it done at a local upholstery shop.


Thanks for the replies! Keep em coming.

That's a great price on install.....I did them myself, but I'd pay $140 for a shop to do them.

^^ what he said, all of it. I didn't mind the cloth interior, but the leather seats are so much better and add to the look, feel, and smell. Love it (and I've never thought of myself as a leather guy, never cared about it one way or another).

Um, I need some alone time with those seats... I'll clean up afterwards but I do require visitation rights...

THOSE ARE SICK! Nice job on the install.

What is a bit funny is that although we accept "burnt orange" without questioning it, other people find the orange.... interesting, and when I think about it, orange leather is... a bit odd (in general). People like it, but some seem a bit confused by the color, heh. Mine is actually two tone, but...

$579 + 25 (shipping from OK) + 80 (embrodered give or take $10)= $684 + 140 (install)= $824 Though the gentleman I spoke with said it's pretty easy to install yourself.
(just got off the phone with leatherseats.com)

Which is not too bad, considering Nissan will hook you up for about $2000-2500
(I called them as well)

How long does the installation take? Does it require that you remove the seats from the brackets?

Yes, seats out and all apart. To be honest it took about 5-8 hours for the install.

Wasn't as easy as I thought, and I wanted it near perfect.

Maybe the best mod for the money, because future owners will appreciate this too.

That price is about right, I had to pay more to send them the image and get it digitized since I was the first.
