Is it just me, or is the blue in the seats a very different shade of blue compared to the DB exterior paint color?

From the pics, yes.. but in person it's not that much different.. just a little lighter. Matches perfectly when it's not so bright out.

In reality they are a bit lighter but not as much as the camera makes it seem. I don't think the difference is any worse than the difference in color from my gas cap or bumpers to the rest of the car. The flash tends to bleach the leather surface and leaves the car's color alone due to the texture of the surfaces. When you look at the car from the outside the color looks almost exactly the same. They really give the car a sporty feel and i'm very happy with them. You can order them just about anyway you want as well, they truly are custom. The stitching, headrests, crotch all can be black or colored, they will even stitch logos onto them at no extra cost. Heating elements are available as well as suede panels if you like. They have many colors as well and i think they could match sunset lemans. I beleive if you order seats from Nissan in anything other than the touring model this is what you get because the place i went to have them installed was installing on numerous cars from local dealerships (not just nissans) with the stickers still in the window.

I like I like, B. Nissan In Lewisville had a Pikes Performance with those installed a few weeks ago with the black outer and white center. It looked good!

here's the link to slay's very sexy seats, very similar but very much his own, notice how he chose to have the logos on the headrests and the hump the same color blue as the rest of the center panels.

FYI my seats were $500 from ATD1 and my install was $350 from Sunline Sunroofs (authorized Katskin dealer/installer) in Lindenhurst as recommended by James from ATD, who did an outstanding job as my seats are tight. Don't skimp on the install, it's key. You don't want loose wrinkled leather because it will crack in no time.

Here's a good question I had seen someone earlier had these installed and found out you could get them heated---So I wanted to if we wanted them heated ---could we use the OEM switch instead of the KAtzkin switch(tehy have the same settings)

I'm sure you could but you might have to wire it up yourself but it shouldn't be that hard. I would ask James directly his forum name is atd1 and he is also listed in the vendor classifieds.

I like that better than Slay's actually. I think it looks more crisp and classy. I remember seeing his b4 and I wasn't too thrilled w/ the Z logos. Just my opinion though, to each his own.
