Help with leather seats?

If you are going to use the car in the winter then get the heater seat.

Any pics of yours? Do you know if they still make them? How difficult was the install?

I have heard quite a few guys say that they love their katzkin leather. How difficult was it for you to install yours? Did you take the seats out to do it? Install seat heaters?

Ill take pictures when I get home, I am at work right know. Not difficult at all just 4 bolts on each side of the seats unplug air bag harness make sure you disconnect battery or airbag light will be on. Rip out existing cloth and nylon zip ties to install new leather seats.

Sooo.......... who's car is it? Yours or hers?

If you're not married then she has NO say so on what you buy. The woman that I was dating at the time told me "If you buy the Z over that BMW that I like more then it could be a deal breaker between us". I bought the Z and she went out the door.

Buy the car with the options that makes you happy and can afford and don't appease others in that decision. You're the one who has to drive and pay for it.

Soon to be married...

. I too, would like leather seats in the Z. My last 370z had the touring package, and my current Q60 has leather (obviously). I would prefer to have heated leather, but I don't want to pay the extra to have the touring package on a new Z. In my area, I would be looking at adding an additional $7-8K on top of the Sport package price...and that's IF I can find one.

I did do seat heaters and yes I took all the seats out. It was a lot of work but not too hard. I would do it again over paying someone to do it. Heated seats are great.

Um...what are the 'pointless' extras of the Sport package?

Do some of you guys read at all?? I was talking about some of the pointless extras that you have to pay for when you purchase the Touring package. I said nothing about the Sport package.
