Classic Soft Trim Leather. I ordered them through a local custom auto store.
Around $500.00 for the seats + enough of the red leather to make the shift boot and arm rests.

Used a local upholstery shop to make the shift boot and arm rests.
They charged around $175 to make to pieces and to install the seats.

MarkY - I will try to get one up this weekend

RodH – that lip is part of the full Nismo body kit. It includes the full front-end replacement, side skirts, rear under spoiler, and wing.

The seats look ok but the leather isnt stretched enough imo. The armrest in the center console looks like pooh imo, and the NISMO seat belt covers are kinda tackey, besides that I like your car....

cain96 - the arm rest are on the door. The one in the middle is the Z-Rest and it is black and does cover the switches. Not the hazard but it does the seat warmer.

Alberto - Opinions are like a$$holes. Everyone has one. I take it you have never installed leather? It will take a couple of hot days for the leather to fit persectly. Ask anyone. As far as the z-rest... you must be a very small man if your elbo touches the center console. Mine doesn't and the z-rest makes it perfect.

Randall - thanks. That is my purpose.

Well, I like the new leather, don't know if I will ever see the car in person again it seems like, heh.

Hopefully, the leather will tighten up a bit. Carrying the red and white theme through the whole car I see, the red armrests are a nice touch.

I would have liked to see the red go up one more section on the back, but it kinda flows into the door as it is so I dunno. Armrest idea is unique.
What's that black thing attached to the center console on the passenger side?

That looks great. I like the black and red theme.
Has the leather settled any? The saggy look is the only thing holding me back from buying some leather. Will you post pics after it has settled a bit more? Thanks.

hello. i saw your car in the gallery.
this is not about this thread Q(about nismo body kit)

i also got ppw and want to buy nismo sideskirts. BUT i wonder if it is noticeable on ppw? (seems every color except ppw are noticeable and saw clear pics of nismo side skirts)

i never ever saw one single clear pic of PPW with nismo side skirts. and from this site, i think you are the only one who can help me out with ppw nismo sideskirts..
i will be really appreciated if you show me the clear pic and your opinion on nismo kits(except front bumper)

thank you

lil-rod - i'm sure we'll hook up along the road. Are you going to Branson Z Fest?

350ed - That is the hands free cell phone. I'll post a better picture of it for you.

jcr847 - not yet but it is still cold here so it will take a few warm days.

aaaaa - PM me any questions you have about the NISMO kit.

Grey Matter - that is my other toy a 1971 240Z.

I think the seats look awesome, I love black and red combo. I don't care for the boot all red tho maybe its just one of those have to see in person things..are you happy with the boot? If you are then I'm sure its just the photo not doing it justice cuz you obviously have great taste!

Damn, the job on the boot looks amazing, very clean, AWESOME!!! How difficult was it to remove & instal the shift ****???

The leather looks good, hopefully it will tighten up with time, as you said before, because it does look a tiny bit too loose.

Overall, your interior looks good!
