I own a 2003 silverstone with black leather seats, but I found a guy selling his burnt orange seats from his 2006. Just want to know everyone's opinions on the swap since I've never seen the burnt orange in person. Also, is all the wiring for the 06 the same as the 03 as far as heated seat wiring,ect goes. I'd appreciate any input

***mods sorry I didn't exactly know where to post this so feel free to move it

 

Id keep black. Orange and silverstone dont go so well together, but i do like the orange a lot. I have black interior with the orange stitching and that looks nice. You must also think of what the seat will look like in a few months... orange is going to get DIRTY. But its up to you, looks are personal matters. God luck!

 

Well it wont get dirty if you clean it regularly lol

But yeah, orange in silverstone isn't my cup of tea but that has tl be up to you.

As far as wiring ... I can't imagine it being different but I'm not sure

 

I disagree with--burnt orange in a silverstone does not go well together.
Its a perfect match.When I ordered my Z,the burnt orange interior in the silverstone was the hottest match.None were aavailable at the dealers. However,its always a matter of personal preferance.
As far as the "get dirty" factor,I've had my03 Z since I bought it in 02.
No problems with the seats getting dirty.Of course,depending on what you wear,
grease etc.Also,as is customary with a lighter color leather,it will show creases and cracks(if you do not maintain properly)as it wears.
Its a no-brainer to me (duh!) if someone says black does'nt show dirt!
The wiring should be the same.
You may want to check out my vehicle pics to see the b. orange in the silverstone.

 

I suggest (searching) hitting up some local used-car places and you may be able to see the seats for yourself. As far as the combo, you either love it or hate it.

I think it looks good.

 

Do it!!! It will be hawt!

 

It goes well together. Especially since all the gauges are orange as well. I have the burnt orange with mesh. I get compliments on the seats alone all the time.

And as for getting dirty. If you use leather cleaner once or twice a month they stay in great condition. And we only have 2 seats, so it doesnt take long.

 

Orange would look pretty sick. Just keep it maintained

 

I would keep it black, don't get me wrong the burnt orange look nice. But in my opinion the look a little flashy and on a silverstone car, it would clash a bit. In black it would like nice and clean.

 

Thread should have had a poll. OP let me know if you want me to add one.

I have this combo on my own car and the seats were one of the reasons I bought it.

 

A poll would be cool...

 

Orange ventilated FTW.

Heres my car the day I got it. 95k miles

 

I think the orange gives it character

 

I like the burnt orange seats. When I was shopping for my Z, I wanted them if I got a PPW or black car. In the silverstone, they'll look awesome. Just please don't get the **** and boot to match! Those look like poo.

 

I gotta be honest, those orange seats are gross.

 

Burnt looks great in silverstone and black. I have the ventilated seats in my roadster and they are beautiful. Matches gauge lights and is a great compliment. I have these now for sale ! pm me if any interest ! They will be price 1k plus shipping and paypal.

 

I seen a lot of pix of the burnt orange seats when I was looking to buy my Z, but pictures don't really do justice. They end up looking really washed out. I'd say try to find one in person and decide for yourself.

 

enough said !!!!!!

 

so what did you end up buying? i hope you got the burnt orange ones
