Default Custom Leather Seats - PICS

Just installed custom leather seats last weekend in my CS 2004 Z. These are 2 tone Silver on Black to match both the interior and exterior of the car.

The Black is the "Dark Graphite" black from the Katzkin website color chart.

These seats are made by 350zforums.org.

Extremely pleased with the look, feel and of course "Smell" of the leather. Best Mod so far.

IMHO, this is the way the interior/seats should have looked from the factory!

Enjoy the pics

Sharp... leather makes the non touring models, and it's affordable since there's no back seat.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

FairladyZ, were you the one with the PPW Z with those floodlights?

Pretty sure we spoke at the meet a week ago.

Yes, David brought the seats with him to the meet, and I picked them up there.

Installed the crank pulley that same weekend.

Mostly just looks that way. First, I haven't had the chance to let the car sit in the sun. It takes an afternoon for the leather to "Shrink" and conform to the seats.

They are actually really tight, except for a few areas (seams) which will tighten

Anyone else think that both seats should have that "U" shape at the edge?

It would look better that way, but only the driver's seat has it on the stock seats.

The silver leather contrast is very nice.

Can someone who's had the aftermarket leather on their car for a while post a pic showing how the wrinkles disappear? Thanks.

Wow, now THAT looks GOOD! How come yours are sooo much smoother? No offense, but in the original pics the leather is wrinkly. Yours looks factory.
