Burnt Orange Leather
I have been told by Courtesy Parts in TX that the BO leather is not available as a Nissan Accessory. Now I know I have seen this interior on other 350's. If it's not available as an accessory, how did it get there. I have seen the black/BO combination as well as the Sunset/ BO combination. Any infor would be appreciated.

I spoke with one classicleather dealer this past Friday who called their rep about the BO color. The rep told us that there was a new color released last week called "Pumkin" that is supposed to be a match for the BO.
Spoke with a different dealer, James who is offering a discount on the Katskins but is also a classicleather dealer, he said that the new pumkin color is not a reality yet.
Still waiting to hear back from the first place with info on leadtime and price.

Thanks guys......keep the info coming regarding the BO leather. It would seem to me that the BO color will have to be matched by someone relatively soon. The Z, Maurano and maybe some others are all offering the same color. Maybe it's just a matter of time........my dealer is checking with Nissan parts to see if we can get the BO in other than touring. I will post info asap.

Josh......I haven't seen the Katzkin orange installed. I do have a piece of the orange leather as a sample they sent me.There is no doubt that it is a brighter orange than the BO nissan color used in the Z as I have actually compared them side by side. I emailed Classic soft trim to see what they say about the Pumpkin color someoen else mentioned. Did you go solid color or two tone and did you use a perf panel or not?

spoke with classic soft trim people today. The Pumpkin color is definately available at this point in time however it is only available as an insert panel and not as a full seat color as is presently available in the Z. They told me that they didn't have a supplier for the vynal sides and back of the seat that would match. QUESTION who supplies Nissan with their vynal back and sides as I assume that their entire seat is not leather either?

well.......... every single person who has entered my car thought the orange looked amazing. I have gone in stock Z's and compared mine to it, and i must say i now think katzkin looks better. Trust me, it looks great........
For $700 i got an amazing deal, far, far better than those who bought the touring package. I dont like when people who dont know what theyre talking about, mouth off!
The leather instalation looks greats, as does the color, enough said. And yes i have the exact set up as wayne, solid orange.

Slexis........did you have any embroidery done on your seats? Did you do the install or Kat dealer? Glad to hear that you are happy with how they turned out.....ATD is offering the same basic deal as you rec'd for about $830 I think. Not a bad price especially when the dealer wants $1200 or more.

luvthez, slexis200 got his seats done at the same katz dealer as i did, its 700 for everything. it was a double deal, originally the dealer charged me 800 for perforation and 700 with out. After some bargining, we agreed 700 for slexis and i together, and all paid in cash.
egz, the katzkin seat does cover the entire seat, including the back. the quality of those seats are great.

Even though I like the bighter color orange of the katzkin, I have two things holding me back. I have a feeling the resale value may be hurt by an aftermarket color that was not a factory option(even though it is close). The katskin is supposed to have a better(softer) feel to it. I'm worried that it may be thinner leather and therefore look and feel "puffier" than factory seats.
No offense meant, and if no one steps up and offers the excact match to the BO color I will go with the katzkin "orange."

I'd love to find out who Nissans supplier is. It's not like Nissan kills the cows and stretches them over seats.
Some 3rd party is making the Burnt Orange leather, and I'd be suprised if it was impossible to source privately.
