I want a new car. But I can't afford one. If I get leather seats and a sunroof, I dont think I'll want a new car. I think I'll be very happy.

make a trip to the local junkyard......

Goto several junkyards find out which ones have maxima's with leather interiors. You should be able to pick up all the leather seats for $500-1000. An aftermarket elctric sunroof is around $500-900 too.

FU** no!!

You should be able to get it for half that!
I just bought a set of power, leather 300ZX seats for $250 shipped. I'm sure you can get the back seat redone or find one with lether in good shape for about $200.
then all you gotta worry about is a sunroof.

prolly you can trade your car with a dealer for one with sunroof/leather, plus some cash.

Hey Matt, any more of those $250/set 300ZX seats around; I want some. Do they fit our cars w/o mods?

stop posting stupid stuff.

and the answer is NO!!
It is not worth it.

You can add thousand more dollars and get the SUPERCHARGER.
But since your car is an auto, you don't deserve a supercharger. Give me the money instead so I can supercharge mine.

No flames guys, about the auto thing. He is my brother.

hey..

I don't know this stuff really, but on 3rd gens like mine, the sunroof came as a standard option on the "SE" models.
I guess thats not the case for 4th gens, since u have a 98 SE and no sunroof. cool, just making sure for my NOT in the near future 4th gen purchase.

BTW, I am SURE you can find a set of leather seats at a junkyard for around 500$. About the sunroof, you can probably go for a cheaper alternative and get a manual roof, then have it installed, you won't end up spending half the money you said.

I cant get the leather. its too much trouble. Sorri.. Vinyl is easier to work with and also looks nicer. In my opinion, i like the vinyl a lot more b/c my EX-leather was very cold in the cold and hella hot during the summer. I can get your vinyl that looks very much like leather though.. but it wont be real leather

slickismax and some of the oklahoma guys are selling leather kits for our cars for not much more than the $600 vinyl kit. I'm pretty sure they do the 2-tone stuff too..

give Bill (slickismax) a shout and see what he can do on pricing.

Do you guys use my original seat and then stitch it on or do you get brand new seats. Can you explain to me how it works. Also I have a sage mist green car. What colors do you think will look good. I have right now stock cream leather seats. Thanks
