Question Best seat color for Silverstone

I have a Silverstone on order and will be adding dealer installed leather. Trying to decide between charcoal, burnt orange or darkish red. Recommendations - with pictures please? Thanks

go with Burnt orange. I think it's a good contrast.

Here's a picture from our last meet.

IMO
The burnt orange gives the Z an exotic look. The charcoal is good contrast but too plain for me. All comments on the orange so far have been positive.

I ordered mine with charcoal but when I saw the burnt orange seats I changed my mind immediatly. You must see to believe, the contrast is simply amazing. I'm glad I changed......

I LOVE my silverstone/burnt orange combo. As mentioned already, nice contrast and looks exotic.

When the first Z's arrived at dealers in September, I saw a Silverstone w/Orange and fell in love with it. I really like the contrast so I ordered one just like it (delivery date has recenlty been changed form Dec/Jan to 1st week in Feb). I looked at a lot of other Z color combinations since then and still like this one the best.

I always liked the dark red seats in a steel grey Ferrari. Now that looks exotic.

I would have to say red as well. Silver/Red M3's are knockouts, im sure a Z in ss/red will better that in looks.

Default Silverstone and burnt orange...

If you like leather... burnt orange is the way to go. Claaaassy !

I personally like cloth.. and have ordered cloth.

However, when I went for a test drive... my wife loved the color combination of dark silver and burnt orange leather. I did too.

I just got mine done this morning with Black leather.....Lite Slate Suede Inserts and then contrasting stitched with thread to match the Slate colored inserts.......very happy with the results.


I'm not a fan of Red leather on any car.......but that's just me.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Burnt ORANGE is just plain NASTY! Get Charcoal and insert an aftermarket strip in the middle or something.

Nissan does not make burnt orange in a chrome silver, if that's what you're looking for.

Yeah but there's the possibility that someone did an aftermarket install of a burnt orange color in a chrome silver z.
