I’m not a big fan of the cloth in my car…but i think the seats are extremely comfortable…you can get the leather seat skins which look really good for…6-700 dollars…but then i’m thinking for that price i can get _new_ racing buckets and harnesses which might be nice for track days this summer…what to do :shrug: ---

I actually understand what you are saying exactly. The MR2 has very supportive and comfortable seats, but they don’t look like they fit the rest of the car. Get some nice race seats if you can afford the coin and if it’ll make you happy. ---

-Find someone selling seats from a higher trim package Z. -Install with no issues. -Enjoy. No point in redoing the seats when you could just upgrade. 🙂 [http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissan-300ZX-90-96-BLACK-LEATHER-POWER-SEATS-RARE\_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33701QQihZ011QQitemZ320103801271QQrdZ1](http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissan-300ZX-90-96-BLACK-LEATHER-POWER-SEATS-RARE_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33701QQihZ011QQitemZ320103801271QQrdZ1) Or [http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/90-96-NISSAN-300ZX-OEM-BLACK-LEATHER-DRIVER-SEAT-Z32\_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33701QQihZ005QQitemZ150111039377QQrdZ1](http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/90-96-NISSAN-300ZX-OEM-BLACK-LEATHER-DRIVER-SEAT-Z32_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33701QQihZ005QQitemZ150111039377QQrdZ1) [http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/90-96-NISSAN-300ZX-BLACK-LEATHER-Passenger-Seat\_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33701QQihZ013QQitemZ230115808968QQrdZ1](http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/90-96-NISSAN-300ZX-BLACK-LEATHER-Passenger-Seat_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33701QQihZ013QQitemZ230115808968QQrdZ1) You know deep down this is the way to go.

I would either find another OEM set or recover your before I’d go race seats unless you’re going to be doing a LOT of track time. And even then, I don’t know if I’d go race unless they require a FIA seat. I’m doing custom seats up for the Firebird; similar to Lafengas’s but more extreme with deeper seating, and more boulstering both leg, side, and shoulder; with holes for 5-pts integrated in. Seeing I can do the upolstery work too, it shouldn’t be that bad of a project. ---
