Hey all,

Last Thursday a space case ran a red light while I was waiting to turn left in the intersection and totaled my 2001 Bullitt Mustang. I was the original owner, she was my pride and joy daily driver. Very infuriating but I'm glad I wasn't injured much.

Today I'm the proud owner of a 2012 370Z - Grey Metallic with Black Interior. I am having the dealership install leather interior and I will take ownership within the next few days.

I was really excited to find the model I wanted in the configuration I'd hoped for. I'm not wild about LED running lights, so the 2013 wasn't really my thing. However, I also wanted to make sure I had that oil cooler in there, so I didn't want anything before 2012 model year.

I would have preferred a factory Touring model, but I'm good with the base+leather interior. Maybe in the future I will upgrade the stereo to Bose.

Glad to be here!

Here's my car with a VW Microbus outside a very 1980s looking JC Penneys for the 25th anniversary of the mall scene in the first film.

Sweet I didn't know Nissan could install leather seats for you.

Do you mind me asking how much that was? And also is going to look the same as the OEM seats??

Thanks!! Honestly excited I read your thread I want the leather seats but that is the only thing I'm interested in from the touring package.

Bumping this to see if anyone can answer my question.
