Custom Leather Seats Idea

Some are.

Had a local embroidery shop make up this sample for me to get an idea of what it would look like to have this logo embroidered into my leather seats...

Going to have the "Z" fully closed instead of having the split line running through in, and increase the thread count but over all I LOVE IT!

Looking good.

FINALLY my seats have been embroidered...
Also going to have seat heaters installed along with factory OEM Switches..
Installation takes place this weekend!

Cant wait!!!!

Nice. How much dies the whole process run? With the seats and install?

The seats and door panel inserts were about $1,300 from Leatherseats.com

Got these embroidered by a local screen printer and I'm having a local leathertop place do the install for about $350. I don't want to risk doing something like this by myself.

I was planning to do this EXACT same thing, only with red and black. To "look" exactly the same as stock nismo seats, but be in leather. How did you decide on colors, stitching and material. During the process of choosing it doesnt show you the outcome, you just kinda have to hope everything you chose looks nice.

I did everything over the phone...

DeEePiDDy · 11-02-2013, 05:59 AM

Seats should be done this Monday!

Dixnot · 11-03-2013, 11:51 AM

i loved the first idea, o well

DeEePiDDy · 11-04-2013, 04:51 PM

Almost done!

There was a hiccup with the passenger side seat thats requiring me to return the seat rest to the manufacturer to be fixed but we're almost there!!

So would black leather or cloth on a black car be to much black?

DatsunFTW · 11-04-2013, 05:16 PM

That looks great!!!
