R33 Interior.. Need Some Opinions..

[J3TR33]

Hey guys, i got a black r33 series 2 and have been looking into giving the interior a bit of a make over..

i am looking at buying those leatherette seat covers, the same from the group buy.. with everything else, boot, door trims etc

just need an opinion of which colour would look good on my car... i was looking at getting it either in bone, similar to that red 32 that was on hot 4s, cream, red, or two tone red and black..

or if you have any other colour suggestions would be great.

il also most likely spray the dash in same colour, or chrome if i decide bone or cream

thanks

here is a link of of the actual seat covers... gives you an idea thanks Ebay Link

This again is one of those thing you really should just decide on your own cause others will only give you their opinion and everyone has one of those....

But, if you do just want another opinion that you may just disagree with, I'd stay right away from red & black it just looks tacky and cheap, I'm not a beige interior person, whenever I see beige or white interiors the next thing they get is 20"chromies, not a fan at all...

I'd go all black or black and dark grey, that way it suits the rest of the interior. I'm also not a fan of painted dashboards, everyone I've seen looks tacky and you know in a years time its gonna look worse from wear, reupholstered dashboards with a complete reupholstered interior would be ok but again I would go low key, black or dark grey, the outside of the car is for flamboyance, the inside is the machines interface for a driver...

But its just another persons opinion you have to like it yourself, screw what others think.

75coupe has a good point about individuality.

My next car (R33 GTSt) will have a red and black interior. I think it works really well, stands out, and isnt too hard to see or in your face. Bone and beige are too over the top, everyone has that. Its just too common, and not special any more.

One idea you should look at is a marble effect? I'm doing my dash like that soon, hopefully it turns out decent.

If you're considering bone or cream, what about the white, off-white, the ivory or the beige?

[J3TR33]

thanks for your replies people...

yeh i guess ultimately its up to me but sometimes excitement takes over the eyes and u end up with something that u later regret lol..

so lyk this i get a reality check

im thinking hard about this caus i also wanted to add rims to the car when i get these and want things to match.. no cromies lol

ok so considering ur opnions im down to these choices "white, two tone black and white or red" , although the more i look at the white the more i like it and the less i like the red. il be embroiding something like the nismo on the covers as well. maybe Skyline in black or Skyline with the GT logo.

and here are pics of the style of rims i was looking at getting

thanks again... ur opinions appreciated..

white is hard to keep white, black will be as hot as hell in the summer. get jap wheels

[75coupe]

white or red interior definitely won't suit jap wheel.... stick with the cheap rims to go with the tacky interior

[Munkyb0y]

these look good, but i'd go with a grey centre instead of the white.

who does these seat covers? how much for the fronts?

[J3TR33]

each to their own i guess...

i dnt c a point of getting black and grey... i guess i want it to stand out... which means getting both positive and negative feedbacks..

and jap rims arent cheap... oh and plus i got 4 stud so my options are quiet limited... i dnt think the hiro's on the pics come in 4 stud either... i jst like the style of them

Munkyboy: they are frm ebay, jst search leather seat covers... they are different from the group buy, the one in the pic you have to rip your old cover off.. they look sweet

[75coupe]

Axis rims rims aint from Japan, they are USA made... and as far rims go personally I would not rate them highly at all... I find them a tad tacky like red and black or white fake leather interiors bought off ebay...

remember, you wanted opinions...

lol i didnt say the axis rims were frm japan... i said japanese rims arent cheap, hence why im going for the cheaper options available to me in 4 stud.. if i had a GTR i would consider paying 3-4k on nice jap wheels, bt why bother if i have a gtst, the wheels will be worth half the price of the car.

its called leatherette haha, i guess ur offending everyother person that got these fake leather seat covers from the group buy

well thats what forums are for.. opinions, and no offence taken..

[Pattygtst]

I think cream coloured with red or black stiching would look good.

You have 4 studs so i assume its a non tubo, my opinion dont waste money on an n/a

Axis hiros look nice i have a mate with a 180sx 2jzgte 750hp with em so dont listen to the get jap rims people. Unless your racing it and with a n/a that would be stupid

Decals/vinyl would be even more tacky

its actually a DE+T , nah not racing with it anyway... i was going down the lines of white with black stitching...

yeh tru story about the vinyls... not a fan either

still looking for some nice rims lyk the axis hiros in 4 stud...

Turbo well in that case

Yeah white with back sticthing would look nice.

You will find it real hard getting some 4 stud wheels i doubt the hiros come in 4 stud. Dont quote me on this but i think you can do a conversion to 5 stud wheels. Check out the n/a section or have a search for conversions

Too much red is too subtle for the eye, that's all I have to say

[gersfan]

That all red pic looks terrible imo.

The black and white look decent...ish

[Ry34]

are these leatherette seat covers?

[J3TR33]

yep they are leatherette,

[Pattygtst]

yep they are leatherette,

Go for it mate if you have the cash.

I wanted to do this on mine

How will you have it installed as you have to remove the current lining on the seats and chuck on the new ones. Sounds like a mum job

[75coupe]

Post up pics when done of course... Hope it all goes well...

It should at least clean up the now aging seats in 32s & 33s.

you never know, you may convert me into liking leatherette and non standard interior colours.
