Are these seats worthy?
Hey guys, trying to upgrade the look of my seats/interior and what better place to start than the seats. The stock Nismo seats are boring in color and they aren't even leather. So I was looking around and I'm trying to find some sort of an upgrade of the entire seat or a possible re-upholstery, but I wouldn't even know where to begin to search for that.
So far I have come across this, they look much better than the stock Nismo's, I'm sure they'd function better for events, and they are leather, or fake leather. NEW 2 Pcs Red & Black Leather Racing Seats RECLINABLE w/ Slider ALL Nissan | eBay Can I get some advice or opinions on this? Will it even fit out of the box with no modifications? Thank you |
honestly seats are a big safety issue, either go with something reliable or dont go with anything at all.
|
I would not get those. Why?
1) the price indicates that the material is garbage and held together with dental floss 2) no name brand I would keep the Nismo seats and see if an upholsterer can redo the material with leather. I'm estimating that a quality job would run around $1500 |
$180 for a pair of seats??...It was nice knowing you man..
|
Stay away from knock-off or cheap seats!! There have been quite a few reported cases of cheapo seats failing in accidents and causing serious injury.
|
Yeesh, does some have any recommended sites that I can go to to check out quality seats? Seems like that is all eBay has.

bride, recaro, status, sparco.

If you dont want to fork out a ton of money but want a nice seat go with a Corbeau FX1 I had them in my 350Z and ran buddy club seat rails and loved them! 14 pounds a piece and were pretty comfy. Over a 2 hour ride and my a$$ was hurting a bit but normal driving daily they were great! |

Thanks everybody. Never bought aftermarket seats before.
|
The cheapest aftermarket seats I would consider are Corbeau. They are pretty good but not on the same level as most Sparco/Status/Bride/Recaro/etc. options.
|
Currently looking at leatherseats.com
They say they can make leather covers for the 370Z. I went through all of the steps and it looks like it'll come out to about $650 for two-toned white on black seats. Does this seem legit and will this fit the Nismo seats as opposed to non-Nismo seats? |
Do some searches on Clazzio leather seat covers. The seats on my 2005 S2000 are showing some wear so I'm ordering the Clazzio covers for them. They are $250 for the pair and get rave reviews on the S2K forums. I think I've seen them here before once or twice.
These are the covers I'm ordering for my S2k: http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q...K/P1020522.jpg They look factory. |
