Full Leather Interior

earwicker7 · 11-05-2009, 04:04 PM

Has anybody done this? I like the general look of the interior on the 370Z, but it would be even better with more leather.

I was wondering what the cost of this would be... I'm assuming it wouldn't be cheap.

Come on, somebody chime in here!

What I'm thinking about doing is replacing all the faux-suede stuff with red leather (my interior is black) and also getting rid of the cheap plastic (or whatever material it is) dashboard, etc., by replacing it with black leather. Maybe a few other red highlights here and there...

Yeah, I know of those guys but was under the impression that they only do seats. They can do a full interior?

anything you want to pay for i'm sure. otherwise go find a high end 12v shop, they always at least know where to send you.

Excellent.

A high end upholstery shop can do this...There's a guy on the Corvette forum that turns Vettes into full leather interiors. Beautiful work, but not cheap!

That's awesome, as I can't think of a car that needs it more than a Chevy... great cars, crap interiors. But a full leather Vette sounds drool-worthy.

They did my interior, seats and side panels. They get a set from their factory and the shop just did the install. The stuff is all computerized now so you may be limited with them. But if you go all leather you might get the saggy pants syndrome too.

Saggy pants syndrome?

If you don't mind me asking, how much did they charge you for what you had done?

thats where the leather strecthes and the seat looks kinda saggy.

My install was part of the deal to sell me the car as I didnt want the persimmons color so agreed to change it out for me and install a spoiler to get the car off the lot.
