Anybody else have these 'bumpy' leather seats besides me? All the 3rd gen leather seats I have seen so far have been 'smooth'.

 

Those don't look like my seats.. Freak!

 

looks likeaftermarket leather

 

well if it is aftermarket leather, it's VERY GOOD stuff, fits like OEM, looks like new...

and also check out the leatherette door panel inserts, anybody else have those? Or am I just special ? :-D

 

Yo that car..is identical..same color car in black..same leather in black and same year. Maybe they made it that way in 93?..my car is automatic

 

damn that looks hella nice, really luxurios and stuff. im jealous!! door panales look really nice too.

 

I do have same leather seats on 91 SE.

 

Perhaps it's just on the black exterior/ black leather interior models?? I know other people have this combo. What seats do you have??

 

I have a 91 SE, Black on Black. I have the exact same seats, with the trim on the doors.

 

Yup, I got the same seats and door panels.....just bought the car 2 months ago and the original owner told me they were after market. hey, they still look good and no rips!

 

Tokkuri i got a question ... did you get a whole new paint job when you put your kit on or just the kit get painted?

 

Sorry, the picture with kit is photoshoped.
I don't have body kit on my maxima.

 

Have any pics of your front seats?
I want leather dammit, this is interesting, why did some seats look different? I like these more, remind me of Bonneville seats.

 

I sorta do, check out the pics through the link in my sig...

By the way, I was told these seats are reskinned and are from a compant called Katzskins, anybody heard of them? Internet searches yielded notta!

 

Does anyone know where we can purchase those leather seats and how much it will be.

I am now depressed after seeing RosenKen's pictures.

Thank you.

 

I have a black/black leather 93SE and I have the normal looking seats.
Those are aftermarket seats and door panel thingys
I have pics of mine somewhere in the gallery part of my page

 

do you guys with factory leather seats have power seats? Or were they an additional option?

 

I'm not sure if they were an option or standard, but I have driver and passenger power seats which I also had in my 89GXE with leather

 

I have a 91 gxe and my tan leather is the same "bumpy" style as in the pics and my door panels are also the same

Most of the 3rd gen. leather seats are the "smooth" looking ones....I test drove a 93 SE (dark blue) and it had the "bumpy" leather (black leather)...I noticed it had cloth door panel inserts, so the leather must have been added after.....however those bumpy seats must be something Nissan installs....I have a 92 SE that originally had cloth, and factory leather seats were installed and they were the smooth ones (dual power) but im not much a leather fan myself so I traded them out with someone here and now have cloth seats from a 93 SE.

 

aftermarker leather should always fit right and last longer. I install it I should know.

 

well I guess I got a deal then

It's smooth and comfy and everything. It was probably a dealer option maybe? Since so many seem to have it now. The dealers probably got more of a profit margin by installing the aftermarket leather than by paying the Nissan OEM premium. I could care less

 

Really? Hmm.. that's funny. just because you install the stuff, you're an expert on everything there is to know about leather? What if it's not taken care of properly? what if the aftermarket stuff is cheap ****? there's a lot more variables than just OEM and aftermarket. some people get a bum deal on the oem stuff. There's sometiems cracks or imperfections in it from day one. others get stuff that looks great forever with minimal care.

 

Oh.. here's a link for you guys who wanted it..

Here's some pics of mine in my '93 SE. Both my front seats are power by the way.

There you go. I have looked at three other 3rd gens and they had the same seats (though not as nice).

thanks matt..people were starting to think that i make stuff up..

 

hey well i'm not the kind of guy who relies solely on one opinion. No offense. The katzkins website quoted an average re-cover job at about $1000. Day-um. Guess I got a good deal.

 

yup u got a good deal. i wanted mine done but i'm not too crazy about throwing in 1K for seats on a 10 yrs old car.
you don't have to take my word/opinion/fact/BS...but don't say that i'm incorrect or disagree with me until your done with your research..beacause 9 out of 10 times i'll tell u the truth and if i don't know something i won't say, or i will let u know that i don't know.

 

My car has the "smooth leather" in it and it also had power driver and passenger seats. I think maybe the black leather is different? My seats are tan leather. Who knows?

 

My $0.02 of data:

92 SE
burgendy exterior
black leather interior
most (if not all?) options (sunroom, ABS, spoiler, Bose)
power front driver and passenger seats

smooth back seats and normal door panels (gray in color)

Damnit, I want bumpy leather!

 

Someone in the 'group buys' section is offering some kind of discount for leather seats, superdesi. You might wanna check there.
