This is the route I might go as well. I prefer the 2 tone leather look to go with the theme I have planned. Or I just might say f***k it and pay for custom upscale recaros??? It just depends how expensive this Z project starts getting outside of the costly turbos.

I prefer cloth seats for sports cars (ordered my Z that way), and leather for luxury cars (wife's car has it, all that's needed is a good high end leather cleaner and all purpose cleaner) .

there is cloth on the door per below.

Griot's LeatherCare occassionally but mostly LeatherCare Spray. very easy to use and dries matte.

i honestly think taking care of leather is a pita and a big waste of my time... so this is why i take the easy route of using the LeatherCare product.

quick and very effective.

yah me too. i wanted some of the options on the touring but didnt want the leather seats so went with the base + sports package and added the other stuff later.

iv'e had both i don't care really... the cloth is good in the z it wears well...
no issues so far... but at trade in time i'm sure the leather will bring an extra
500 or so
