Yeah no thanks. Unless I could get the AC/heater combo seats, I'd never do it. That said, I really wish I did have leather heated seats right about now. Come July, probably not so much.

Hmmm, I'll think of something, I can buy pieces of leather and cover the sensors underneath the clothe to disperse some of the heat.

Those ventilated leather AC seats are the bomb. I think my friend has them in his G37 but I'm not 100% on that.

You have leather seats - you're fine. Heat transfers just fine across leather seats.

Fixed roof headliners are easy. For a convertible? Let's just say it's going to be a PITA.

Yep, black suede with 1/8" foam backing. I also have some 1/4" sewing foam and some 1/8" closed cell foam. I should be able to get some decent insulation/sound deadening properties out of it.

dmhenderson · 02-10-2013, 09:02 PM

I want a sunroof. Who was the guy here who got one?

jpit.

The trouble with the sunroof is it KILLS the shape of the roof. The Z has a real nice roof spine that gets flattened with the sunroof and looks like ***.

Dude its gonna be crazy BUT it can be done, do it in sections, to how the top comes down, thats what I would do, dont do it in one big piece.

Yeah, I agree with that, its not a flat roof, which kinda fvcks everything up.

The Auco headliner (no longer available) is one big piece. I am pretty sure I can do it this way.

The trouble is going to be improvising the mounting mechanisms. I have a few different things to try.

hmmmmmm

eastwest2300 · 02-10-2013, 09:08 PM

That material must be made to flex, I would just think its easier doing it in sections but then again, I've never really looked at doing this project so I'd have to look at the inside and give it some thought.
