Silly question - thread coloring between Nismo and Sport

OldFart · 12-26-2013, 08:12 AM

Is it possible to change the thread coloring from sport to the Nismo. I am referring to the accent pieces in the interior. Considering a purchase of Nismo seats, do ya think a marker would do it considering going from a light color to tbe red or whatever color the thread is in a Nismo...

I now that their is a thread on this and coloring the stitching. But keep in mind that it might be a trill and error for ya until you get a good match.

the thread being mentioned, i dont think it looked very good. i could see all kinds of spots where he/she messed up.

i barely notice the red stitching on my seats. on the steering wheels and center console i def see it.

You can dye the stitching... A member here dyed his blue to match his car.
Old Man, if you have touring, don't buy Nismo seats, they are much less comfortable

The Old Man has the sport seats, I did see the thread where the guy changed the thread color, I would be tempted to give it a go. I did see another thread but couldn't read it all at this time...

I much prefer the Sport/Touring seats, and I'm an old fart in relatively good condition. Much more comfy and adjustable.
The way I drive I'd never utilize anything to do with "frisky driving" that might support sportier race car type seats.

Back to the topic, some members here have painstakingly taken a paint pen and colored each exposed thread.
I couldn't tell from the pics how good/bad it looked. I suppose it falls in the same vein as added giant pieces of plastic to the front rear and sides of the car, it's down to taste....
