Where did you get the seats/install and how much? Thanks.

 

oh yeah forgot, I really like how the seats seem to match the car color. brings out the color nicely.

 

Texas Auto Tops in Carrolton (20 minutes north of Dallas) They had already done a few Z's, including one that drove up from Houston. I know Skidazzle, Myself and one other Z for sure from this board.


Mine was $950 installed, but that was with the $50 upgrade charge for the suede......I think it was definetly worth it. It feels nice, no sliding in the seat and the colors are spot on. 3 yr/36,000 mile warranty also.

 

Thanks, I like the shot you posted with the tint. I've alway ran illegal tint in the past.....but I haven't finish on the Z yet.... I prefer a single layer of 35% mirrored and then following it with a single layer 35% smoked.......it gets it nice and dark inside but isn't blatantly illegal (unless it's overcast) in regular light.

here is my double layered job on my Z32....not for everyone but I loved it. Plus I had a lot in stereo equipment in the car I wanted to be as hidden as possible.

 

False floor in the rear with removable observation covers......not show are the Eclipse Decks (touchscreen CD and DSP)and changers and ADS components.


I should be shot in the head for leaving those McIntosh Amps in the car when I sold it....I'm currently working a deal to buy them back......we'll see.

 

You need led side reflector lights. After getting used to my ss with them, it looks sick without them. Worth the money (or time for DIY'ers). I have made 3 kits already. I have 5 more to go.

 

I am putting them on, but not until I get the Nismo fascia on. If you noticed in the picture, the fascia is busted to **** on the driver side corner.......no use putting them on that one. That is the result of a fox crossing my path and I crossing his at 60Mph.

I'm trying to track down the "smoked" lenses like the j-spec fairladyZ. I think they look better then the white ones. I would like to do orange LED's in the smoked lense.......we'll see if I can find them before my patients where's out.....

 

Wow, those seats look great. I've always wondered how body color-matched seats would look in the Silverstone.

I like your tint job, too. Did your tint have any trouble adhering to the matrix dots in the quarter and hatch windows (any bubbling, air pockets, etc?)

Seats look great!

Tint is identical to mine as well. Nice looking car.

 

The seats are really badass. I love 2-tone interiors.

I'd love to see Daytona Blue with matching blue inserts.

BTW, is it genuine suede or is it Alcantara? That stuff is a bit more durable and doesn't spot as easily as suede.

Really nice though.

 

Doughboy,

Skidazzle had leather seats with matching blue inserts installed in his Daytona Blue. They look great. Check out his thread:

Thanks Gary.

That looks gorgeous!

 

wow, that does look amazing. congratulations on your fine taste!

 

Thanks, I love the look but I'm curious what it would have looked like with burnt orange and black.



I'll post more pics once I install the illumination kits this weekend.....

 

I'd be real curious to see what this would look like with Burnt Orange inserts instead of the gray. Any photochop experts around?

Gary

 

Heres a quickie

 

Thanks for the 'chop, BobbyBoy. That color combo looks outstanding! I hadn't been planning on getting my seats upgraded to aftermarket leather, but after seeing the burnt orange/black combo in a Silverstone, I'm starting to consider it.

On the window tinting,I have 3 questions,How much roughly does it cost,how dark can you go legally,and can the tint be removed?

Thanks

LOL



OK.....rouglhy depending on shops $90-$150

How dark you can go is different per state (should be easy to find online for your state if you do a search) In Tx, it's as dark as you want on the back but the side driver and passenger windows can't exceed 35% (or maybe 30%.....which by the way....the lower the percentage the darker the tint)

and yes it can be removed. A car which is already tinted will cost more to get retinted as more time and effort is involved in removing the old tint. It's a PITA and you may save yourself some money by removing yourself. Just bring some razorblades, goo gone, and elbow grease to the table.....

 

Thanks for the info colecatZ
