Custom Leather Seats Idea
 
What do you guys think of this color pattern for my 2009 Chicane Yellow 370z?
Thinking about getting something like this for my custom leather seat installation.

Too much yellow

UnReal 06-29-2013 10:10 AM

Looks nice. But as DEpointfive0 pointed out, it could end up with to much yellow.
Maybe swap the black/yellow on the seats? And w/ yellow stitch?

Just a thought :)

Personally, I like the look. Not sure I'd want it in my DD but it sure would attract some attention at car shows.

Looks like they belong on bumblebee. Second option is way better.

Trips 06-29-2013 01:23 PM

I would go with just the stitching in yellow

Makes it subtle and not so much in your face. IMO

DeEePiDDy 06-29-2013 01:40 PM

Keep in mind my Z is the 2009 Chicane YELLOW.

2004YZFR1 06-29-2013 03:54 PM

I like the second design better also. How much will it cost to get it done?

DeEePiDDy 06-29-2013 04:02 PM

Probably around $1,500 after installation...

My only issue with the 2nd style is that it's a pretty typical 2 tone design. The first one would be much more unique.

Chuck33079 06-29-2013 04:20 PM

The first one is painful to the eyes. The second looks good. My $0.02.

Tribalpinoy91 06-29-2013 04:26 PM

My tastes i feel that the more colors you add the cheaper everything looks..bc it is obvious that its not factory if you get it..

Tribalpinoy91 06-29-2013 05:48 PM

That one is better, how about color the stitching yellow along with the 370z name

I think that'd look pretty cool.

It's still ridiculously rare

Chuck33079 06-29-2013 06:29 PM

The first one just screams "early 2000s Hot Import Nights" to me. Maybe I'm just getting old, but I'd go with less is more where bright yellow is concerned. The second one is borderline, but still somewhat tasteful.

Very true! I'm 33 years old and the yellow seats do bring me back to my younger days, which is probably why I am attracted to them! They're probably not a very practical choice, but they do have a certain appeal for me...

Truth be told, I'll probably end up going with all light grey to replicate the Touring grey seats... Still have a lot to consider....

37ZERO 06-29-2013 07:06 PM

Personally I would get the centre sections of the seat and top vertical side of the doors in diamond quilted yellow suede. The Bolsters and flat armrest on the door in black leather.

DeEePiDDy 07-02-2013 10:43 PM

Waiting for leather samples to come in the mail... Then will be making my final decision.
I'm leaning towards the Black with yellow inserts but we'll see....

They finally arrived! Going to get 370z logo embroidered into the upper back rest.. and then installed with seat heaters!

cooltoy 09-20-2013 06:26 PM

They are not as limey as the photoshops. That's good.

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...

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7344/9...798a607e04.jpg

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!

cooltoy 09-24-2013 08:04 PM

Looking good.

DeEePiDDy 10-22-2013 11:05 PM

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.

DeEePiDDy 10-26-2013 12:41 AM

I did everything over the phone...

Wonka2581 10-26-2013 12:56 AM

2nd one is better 1st one was way to mch.
