I am about to place an order with leatherseats.com and i wanted to get some input on what color combo to go with. the color of my z is brickyard. its that maroon color. So i was thinkin of going with a two tone color where the middle strip of the seat is Maroon leather and the sides and headrest are going to be Black leather. Or I was also maybe thinking of going with Maroon leather for the inside and Dove grey for the outside as well as the headrest. Here is the link to leatherseats.com color to see what I'm talking about.

here is the two tone layout as well.

so what do you guys think? any input is greatly appreciated and also i'm welcome to suggestions and new ideas. I was thinking of doing the maroon color in suede BUT i like the look of smooth leather way too much. I'm trying to go for a classy sexy look to the car as opposed to the racer look. I'm also looking into getting some lambo doors so if anyone can recommend a good company to go through i would appreciate it.

 

How about the "350Z Two-Tone Body Pattern" in Charcoal/Black with perforated maroon inserts?

EDIT: Dr. Bonz's seats are black with white centers...

 

okay guys i am ready to place the order. i was going to go with katzskins instead of leatherseats.com b/c the upholstery shop was pushing me to use them and they swore by it. The color combo i used is med. red( they did not have maroon), and black leather. the med. red is going to be perferated and the pattern will be the two tone. what do you guys think? should i go with a lighter black? I NEED FEEDBACK!!!!

 

I don't know since no one had ever done it. Can't be too bad though. Hope it turns out well though.

 

Make sure you compare black to charcoal. Sometimes the black looks too black.

 

how can i tell if black is too black for my car? what would you recommend? How about dark graphite or graphite?

 

if your interior panels and dash are black, solid maroon seats that match the exterior color would be a better contrast, imo.

 

I ordered my katzkins from james (ATD1) about a week ago and went with the dark graphite (silver inserts). I went to a local shop that installs katzkins and asked to borrow their leather swatches, the black would have looked fine but I think the dark graphite matches just a little bit better. They should be coming in sometime soon so if your not in a hurry I will post pics when I have mine installed. I am also planning on doing it myself because the local shops all quoted me about $950. I can do it myself for $540 and it really bugs me that the local shops charge that much, my older brother got two rows of seats, armrests, and side pannels done in his grand prix for $1000, and thats more than twice the material/labor! anyways, talk to james on this sight and he will get you a pretty good deal and I will get back to you on how it looks.

 

thanks for the advice. i probably will trust you and go ahead and order the dark graphite with the maroon inserts. the local shop is getting me a pretty good deal. i think its like $600 or the leather , so i'll just buy it from him since he's doing the install.

 

Sorry for not replying. I've seen some people with "black" leather and it looks WAY dark. I would say go with the darkest charcoal you can find, since that is the look I think MOST people want, but they end up ordering black instead. However, this is just my opinion, and it really depends on the samples of leather. Some people's charcoal may be too light, and for others it may be very dark or more blackish...
