Real life Persimmon leather pics
 
I'm drawn to the persimmon leather, but my wife thinks it looks too orange and hence hates the color.

Most of the photos I've seen are the "official" Nissan interior shots. I'm looking for "real life" photos of persimmon to get a better idea of the color.

If you've got persimmon or know of good pics, please post. Thanks!

Minicobra has an awesome looking PG / Persimmon Z. Here is his album: Nissan 370Z Forum - Minicobra1's Album: Persimon Interior + PG

FairmanZ 03-02-2009 10:31 PM

Thanks for the link. Those are great pictures. I do like the contrasting two tone look vs. all black. Now I just need to keep working to convince my other half...

the only way i would have it man. even if it's all orange, u wont regret it. it's just so freaking sweet!

m4a1mustang 03-02-2009 11:04 PM

If I was getting PG that's exactly the interior I'd get. But I'm getting red, and I don't think it would work even if they offered it. :D

FairmanZ 03-02-2009 11:56 PM

I'm pretty much set on the Pearl White. An all black interior is classic and always a safe bet, but the persimmon gives it that extra pizzaz.

Asheth 03-03-2009 03:35 AM

thanks for this post i was waiting for pics of this. Now I am truly glad I ordered Persimmon with my black.

DING! Me too.

Just ordered my PG with the Persimmon interior. Can't wait!

MaximumPwr 03-03-2009 11:07 AM

My old 03 350z was silverstone with the pumpkin orange (sorry forgot what they called it back then) leather. Pictures do not do it justice. I got compliments all the time. I'm thinking about upgrading my platinum graphite 370z with cloth with katzkins leather in this new persimmon or maybe a dark blood red. If they even make skins for the 370z yet.

Gotta be honest, I was planning on Persimmon w/ Pearl White, but that's awfully orange. I really need to see it in person.

I'm in Texas, and that with white may be just way too Texas Longhorn for me. I can't stand them!

zero 03-07-2009 02:41 PM

I bet it looks even better in person. :tup: I cannot wait to get mine with the White.

werd. it looks way to bright orange for me. it was a more classy subdued color Id say thumbs up. but then again my favorite color are shades of grey so what do I know. lol

nogoodname 03-07-2009 08:12 PM

the orange makes it sooo unique, thats one of the reasons why i like it

Good point. I really need to see it. One of the dealers here has a white w/ persimmon coming in (special order), so I should be able to see it in a few weeks.

LenZToy 03-08-2009 02:45 PM

Fairman...had the same problem - The Mrs. wasn't exactly thrilled about the 'orange'. I thought it would look great with the PG. Thanks to all the guys for sharing their interior pics. BTW, getting the black interior!

sbkim 03-10-2009 05:00 PM

Do you guys think brilliant silver would still look good with persimmons?

arcticreaver 03-10-2009 05:17 PM

i think the persimmon color looks really good. kinda matches the gauge colors

chubbs 03-10-2009 05:54 PM

FairmanZ - I'd say your wife is right (no change there, then).

White with Persimmon
 
Found this video of my dream color combo, pearl white with persimmon...

Black + Persimmon = sick, IMO

Great find! The color combo I'm leaning toward too.

zero 03-13-2009 12:47 AM

+1 The Weapon's pics confirms the look is terrific.

jamcro 03-16-2009 03:27 PM

Much envy for you Americans! We're getting the short end of the stick in Canada.... 1 interior color for 1 exterior color. White with the persimmon orange is what I really want, but only comes in frost here;

I've ordered the white Z, and my dealer is making the special request to have it done in persimmon orange, but I don't have my hopes up. I'll probably have to re-cover the seats myself.

DinoJ 04-01-2009 01:05 PM

hey guys i just bought a base model mag black 370 about a week ago, just wondering how would i go about putting the orange interior in? and do you guys have any idea on the price? thanks for any help

mjd77 04-05-2009 12:58 PM

If i remember correctly, there is someone on here who odered a 370 with monterrey blue with persimmon leather. I'd really like to see pics of that in person. Seems a little wierd.

This is 2theextreme's car. Perhaps not the best match, but persimmon with blue works for me. White/Persimmon is still my fav, and what I plan to get.

Diversion 04-25-2009 01:36 PM

I haven't met anybody else on the board with Brilliant Silver + Persimmon like myself yet.. Silver goes very nicely with Persimmon though.. I also expected it to be darker in person but it's really darn orange and the pictures so far on the forum pretty much nail the color as it should appear in real-life.

It grows on you though. To me, I think would look best with Black, White, Silver, Graphite colors the best. Red, Blue, Yellow.. a bit iffy.. it does seem to work decently on the Blue to my surprise after seeing 2theextreme's car though.. Kind of reminds me of the old bright blue Daytonas (I think they had a light leather color option against a bright blue paint job).. Or maybe i'm thinking of the Dodge Conquest/Mitsubishi Starion.

Edit: My gf stated black + persimmon look like a "Halloween car" .. And Blue + Persimmon "Perfect for Gator Fans" .. LOL!

Red and Yellow are the only colors that don't come with Persimmon interior. I couldn't find a Pearl White with Persimmon so I had to factory order mine. Will be arriving mid to late May. Every car I've ever owned had black interior so I'm excited for this new change!

2theextreme 04-26-2009 05:04 AM

Here's a few more of the inside....blue w/ persimmon:

Actually, I think the Persimmon and Blue really go well now that you've posted more detailed photos! Not bad at all.. Not really my cup of tea but the combo obviously works well!

SGTseanzie 10-08-2009 10:16 AM

Blue/Persimmon looks good. When I was a kid, I remember owning a toy car that was blue/orange and it was my favorite! So the color combo HAS to work, right?

My old 350 was black with "burnt orange" was what they called it. And I loved it and got lots of compliments. I would have gotten it on my PG but I keep a car 4 years and after my 350 was 2 years old and the drivers seat started to get that leather patina the orange didn't really age well. In fact it was the worst part of the car when I traded.

You bring up a good point about the aging of the seats. Has any of the persimmon owners noticed any problems with discoloration or looking dirty?

I've had mine for just over 6 months (wow, didn't realize it had been that long until I just thought about it!) and so far I've seen no issues. I do occassionally use the sunscreen during the weekends when I know I won't be driving the car much to help avoid the sun causing any issues...if it even does or would.

rli2bcz 05-05-2010 10:00 PM

that interior looks great. love the two tone.

G.Man 05-06-2010 04:18 AM

I don't like at all the part on the doors, for me only the seats should be in orange (besides... the tone of orange is different, isn't true?)

Vegitto-kun 05-06-2010 04:55 AM

the 350Z I was test driving before I bought the 370Z had persimmon seats ands stuff


I hated it
