The only part that scared me is the fact that I have to cut a slits for the head rest post and the recliner **** on the back of the passenger seat. I just made small cuts at a time till they were just right and to ensure they were not too big. As long as u follow their instruction on their website and patient and not rush thing through, u are golden! U can also hit me up here if u need any help if u choose to order some!
I'll definitely need to keep in touch.
I've got creative plans for my seats in the future

I can't get over these seats. I love it. Again Very nice work!

Chris
Umm just about 30 or 40 bucks more than what I paid for but it looks like u added more options probably or the color that u ordered. I just got the standard red one tone with perforation center. Or maybe that's right. I don't remember but it sounds right to me. Don't order the hog rings just get zip ties. I think that will make install a lot easier and quicker cause I used hog rings and it got a little tough at certain spots. Let me know if u need any help.

When u place an order online they will call u to confirm your order and verify everything and ask u if u have side airbags. I am assuming if you do, the have to fabricate it different from ones that don't have side airbags

Can I buy seats like this and put them over my seats if they currently arent leather? Or do your seats already have to be leather for this to work?

Your stock seats don't have to be leather. Mine were cloth when I got this done. It was getting faded and used and I wanted new seats so I decided to go that route by getting my seats reupholstery. It's just as easy as taken your old cloth or leather off from the foam and bracket and installing the new ones on. They have instructions on their website on how to do it and it is how I learned how to do mine

I was just checking out the leatherseats site and they've got a few 350z sets on special. Click their "Special Deals" banner toward the bottom of the homepage and you'll see black, burnt orange and black/red on sale for $549-$579 shipped.

Okay that is awesome. How is the comfort compared to your cloth seats? Feel any better or worse?

Those seats are awesome. And really, the cost is not bad.

Do you have the new car leather smell? That would be an awesome added bonus.

(maybe open a jar of glue too? lol I kid I kid)
