Are these seats worthy?
 
Hey guys, trying to upgrade the look of my seats/interior and what better place to start than the seats. The stock Nismo seats are boring in color and they aren't even leather. So I was looking around and I'm trying to find some sort of an upgrade of the entire seat or a possible re-upholstery, but I wouldn't even know where to begin to search for that.

So far I have come across this, they look much better than the stock Nismo's, I'm sure they'd function better for events, and they are leather, or fake leather.

NEW 2 Pcs Red & Black Leather Racing Seats RECLINABLE w/ Slider ALL Nissan | eBay

Can I get some advice or opinions on this? Will it even fit out of the box with no modifications?

Thank you

honestly seats are a big safety issue, either go with something reliable or dont go with anything at all.

I would not get those. Why?
1) the price indicates that the material is garbage and held together with dental floss
2) no name brand

I would keep the Nismo seats and see if an upholsterer can redo the material with leather. I'm estimating that a quality job would run around $1500

$180 for a pair of seats??...It was nice knowing you man..

Stay away from knock-off or cheap seats!! There have been quite a few reported cases of cheapo seats failing in accidents and causing serious injury.

Synack 02-16-2012 06:43 PM

Yeesh, does some have any recommended sites that I can go to to check out quality seats? Seems like that is all eBay has.

I love how it says Spoon sports that will go well in a Nissan! haha Spoon is for Hondas :)

If you dont want to fork out a ton of money but want a nice seat go with a Corbeau FX1 I had them in my 350Z and ran buddy club seat rails and loved them! 14 pounds a piece and were pretty comfy. Over a 2 hour ride and my a$$ was hurting a bit but normal driving daily they were great!

I agree, you're looking at $800 and up per seat. Plus rails. FYI

Thanks man. Good advice.

Thanks everybody. Never bought aftermarket seats before.

m4a1mustang 02-16-2012 06:54 PM

The cheapest aftermarket seats I would consider are Corbeau. They are pretty good but not on the same level as most Sparco/Status/Bride/Recaro/etc. options.

Synack 02-16-2012 06:57 PM

Currently looking at leatherseats.com

They say they can make leather covers for the 370Z. I went through all of the steps and it looks like it'll come out to about $650 for two-toned white on black seats.

Does this seem legit and will this fit the Nismo seats as opposed to non-Nismo seats?

Do some searches on Clazzio leather seat covers. The seats on my 2005 S2000 are showing some wear so I'm ordering the Clazzio covers for them. They are $250 for the pair and get rave reviews on the S2K forums. I think I've seen them here before once or twice.

These are the covers I'm ordering for my S2k:

They look factory.
