Question about Touring door panels...

DeEePiDDy · 05-28-2012, 11:17 AM

Are the inserts in the touring door panels leather? Been looking around and can't seem to find the answer....

found nothing definitive. pretty sure it's faux leather.

So what all is actually leather in the Touring interior?

Yep, More like faux suede leather. It's not bad

It's Alacantara.

My G had faux leather, my Z now has faux suede, but I really like it. Everytime someone new gets in it they rub and go wow. LOL

Is it actual Alcantara or just generic synthetic suede?

Isn't that what alcantara is?

Alcantara is an actual product name for one company's synthetic suede-like material. From what I've read, it's supposedly more durable than microsuede, but also more expensive. I'd be a little surprised if that's what Nissan used, but I could see it happening.

Leather Seat Covers for Nissan 370Z has a kit that has seat covers and door coverings to match. Not sure how much it was or if they still sell them. I saw it on a you tube video last year.

If i can find it i'll send you the link. If the still sell the kit you might be able to talk them into the door panel only.
