Z32 interior work
Has anyone had any interior leather work done in their Zs? To rewrap and condition the stock seat and wrap new leather for doors, under side of the dash and the center, what should I expect for the cost?
Also what should I expect for a new carpet and labor cost? Thanks in advance. |
Check this out i might buy one of these soon for my 300zx
I'm not saying you should buy from them just check it out i'm not sure on the quality yet go to ebay and type in interior magic 300zx they have kits that you could do yourself |
theres a couple of places that have specialized kits for the z, and i cant recall their names atm.
i had mine done at a local shop...costed around 500 i believe |

That applies with just about anything you buy on eBay for a Z. |
the stuff on ebay doesn't look bad. as long as you do it yourself or have someone who knows what they are doing it would be ok. it's not like they're stick on you just get some nice 3m 80 spray

I just ran into some major problems with my Z yesterday, and it's due to me cutting corners and trying to save on some moola. Now I'm going to have to spend ass load of moola to get it right... Lesson learned.

I was told for a car seat, it should have about 200,000 or higher rub count.

rtmorgan got that $100 ebay stuff. he said right after he put it on, it looked pretty good. i don't know how it's holding up though.
|
well the ebay stuff is ok i am happy with the quality buy am kinda getting pissed off at burning myself on it. it get really hot.
im thinking of redoing it in a black suede for the soft feel of it. im thinking of doing my seats in it to not sure yet |
2nd Imports Extreme.
Or go to Joanne Fabrics (or any fabric store), buy QUALITY fabric and cut it yourself (just remove the old fabric, lay it over the new material, trace, cut). The stuff on eBay is precut vinyl, that's all it is. You can make the same stuff from Joanne Fabrics for $20. If you're ok with vinyl, doing it yourself saves a lot of money. Check the TwinTurbo.NET AutoFAQ for write-ups on installation procedures. |
IMO vinyl is one step above wrapping the seats in trash bags.
But that's just me. |
There are vinyl materials that most people could not differentiate from leather. My last Z had vinyl seats and nobody ever knew until I told them.
|
|
Those look great. Are they leather or vinyl and did you wrap them yourself? |
Those are from three different cars and I'm not publicly stating whether any of them are leather or vinyl. For those of you who want to bash vinyl, you tell me which is which.
|
i'm not bashing vinyl, honestly i like it because it usually doesn't feel as cold as leather when you sit on it, and i usually don't stick to it as much when i get sweaty. but for fun, i'm guessing that the middle picture is the only real leather one.
|
i think the middle one is the only leather one. but thats just a guessing game for me i got no problem with vinyl mainly cause thats what the S30 interior is 80% made of lol
|
I like cloth for the simple reason that I want to wear shorts without my fat ass sticking to my seats in the summer.
