How many have the A32 I30 with perforated leather?

this I30t I picked up has perforated leather seats, which I have not previously seen in an I30. So I am wondering just how unusual is it.
My 96 I30 plain had solid leather, the interior john got out of an I30 is solid, all the seats I've seen on egay are solid leather.
so just how rare is this setup?

I'm 99% sure it isn't. the pattern is identical to the solid leather. most add-on leather I've seen has a different pattern than the OE.
my steering wheel cover has the same style of perforation on it.

I also can't really imagine anyone upgrading from OE leather to an aftermarket leather seat setup, with the only difference being perforated vs solid

It was an option with the winter package on the A32 Maxima, so I imagine Infiniti offered it as well.

I've seen a local I30 with it. I have a feeling it was only offered on the later years of the A32. His car IIRC is a 98 or 99. It sure does look awesome though, I totally want some for my car.

My 98 I30t has it so I guess it was some sort of factory option.

I do need to find a new rear seat bottom, mine has a triangle tear in it.

that comes after I find a new right rear tailight.

I voted that it wasn't a factory option, because....... IT WASN'T!

The damn sticky is wrong..............

IT COMES ON ALL '98/'99 I30's! Show me a '98/'99 i30 without it and I'll paypal you $20 (out of pitty for the fact that your car has a shady history)

there is no argument. there was some doubt, but it has been cleared up now.
Besides the perforated leather doesn't photograph well
