Custom Seat Covers
I'm looking to get some custom seat covers for my Z. I bought some caltrend covers for my Tacoma and don't really like the fit.
I'm kinda leaning towards coverking or clazzio. Do you guys have any recommendations for seat covers? Any feedback would be helpful |
I did Katzkin leather on the seats of my Z and the door panels..I love it.
|
^ can you share pictures of the katzkin leather door panels and covers pls. Thanks
|
@Zoren 370Z..Go to my profile I have pics on there of it..May not be someone's style because I did purple...The purple is darker though than pics show.

Katzkin is a reupholstery kit, not a cover. Just FYI.
I have the Clazzio covers... the passenger seat looks fantastic. The Drivers seat doesn't fit quite as well because of the extra controls on the side keep you from being able to get the cover fully on... Other than that, it looks pretty good. I wonder if its possible to disassemble the controls from the seat to get the cover full on and tight, then punch holes in it from the controls to be put back on. |
anyone have any pictures of their seat covers?

From leatherseats.com. But actually, they're not covers that go over the original cloth. They take the place of the original cloth.

I did. It's not a walk in the park, but it's do-able.
Seats have to come out. Side air bags have to come out (2 screws hold in each airbag). Seat bottoms and seat backs have to be removed from seat frame. |

I have the Clazzio seat covers but the drivers side doesn't fit all that great because of the additional controls on the left side.... I was thinking I might be able to partially disassemble the seat to get a better fit with the cover. |
I've had Katzskin and Clazzio before. The Katzkin is an OEM fabric replacement and first class result. The Clazzio are decent fitting seat covers and actually pretty good for the price, but they aren't OEM results - i.e. you can tell they are covers.
At some point I'll look at Katzkin for the Z, unless I come across a screaming good deal on Persimmon seats and panels. |

Leatherseats.com has some on-line videos with some general installation techniques, but nothing that specific. But for what you are trying to do I don't think those videos are going to help you. However, I think there were some videos either here on this site or on You-Tube that show how to remove the seats. That's really what you need to see. It's not that difficult removing the seats: just four bolts (2 in front, 2 in back), and then you can tilt the seat backwards to get access to the electrical harnesses that are all easily disconnected (just be aware of any lock tabs on each harness connector that must be pressed to separate one connector part from its mating part). In this scenario (i.e. just trying to make your covers fit a little better) you don't have to remove the air bags. |

One more thing: use your phone to take plenty of pictures of the harnesses' mounting location and wire routing, etc. |

OP - Sorry I hijacked your thread. Here is a thread with a bunch of pictures of Clazzio seat covers..... I have the exact same set the OP of this thread has: http://www.the370z.com/exterior-inte...rs-custom.html http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p...pszqtut8ki.jpg |
