Default Are these aftermarket seats

Hello everyone,
My friend is looking at a 2005 350z to purchase. The seller claims these are very rare seats in the car. If these are just aftermarket covers then its not as rare as the claim. So were there a few cars from Nissan that had these seats?

Seat covers and not rare and doesn't increase the value. In fact it would deter some buyers

I tend to agree they don't add any value. It just means someone didn't like the factory style seats I guess. I googled trying to find if it may have been an option but didn't find anything.

Thanks all

well these look like they replace the original covers, so as long as the cushion and form underneath are fine, I don't see them being an issue

The seats have been reupholstered. The original fabric or leather was removed and replaced with a new covering. The seat coverings look like they could be from leatherseats.com. --Spike

Those are ebay replacements for factory cloth/leather. They are neither rare, nor are they actually leather.

If they about something as obvious as seats it's a good bet they are lying about more important things too

I have never seen this seat option from the factory on any 350z. I think the guy is BSn you. I agree w waizz. I wouldn't trust that seller.
