Anyone With White Or Cream Seats In Their Skyline ?

[Wacky Dee]

Looking at getting a couple of of those 'reborne leather' covers my line but can't decide on colour .. car's black.

I'd love white/creamy or black (outter) + white (inners) seat covers anhd matching door trim but i'm afraid they'd get dirty easy. Anyone got any photos of theirs ?? Is it hard to keep em clean ? Cheers

Here's mine

Not hard to keep clean.. Just take care of em

noice ! is that the leatherette ones or the other place ('reborne leather') ?

cream looks so cool too ..saw this r33 on ebay with full cream interior, oh man ..so hot. But I'm afraid it'd attract too much attention. I like to keep a low profile so I'm thinking I might just go black (outter) and tungsten grey to match the interior I've just done..

http://tinyurl.com/a2xss4 Check out the grey R33 at the top .. I'd totally be up for that but then this dual tone also tickles my fancy and the middle section I think is the same colour I want (tungsten)

I've pretty much decided on the same sort of covers as this one ... I just can't get over how good they look. Need to get my car carpets changed to black ones first too. Anyone else like these ?

yeah i don't think they attract too much attention.. dark tint FTW

reborn leather and leatherette is the same material.. it all comes down to personal choice.. i bought the gear boot, handbrake boot & centre console from a separate place in the UK.. but seats and door trims plus parcel shelf material i bought from Max

Do you have pics of the Parcel tray man..

and how hard was it to do the parcel tray and door inserts ?

Yeah I might just get the front side windows retinted a bit darker to avoid bogan jealousy I already have the factory privacy tint at the back and rear quarters (can barely see through those from outside)

As for materials ... my understanding from a bit of research is that this 'reborne leather' is acually real leather (probably not the finest cowbehind ..but real nonethless) + chemicals thrown in the mix, where as the leatherette ones are actually PVC/Vinyl based and made to look/feel like leather. I've got some sample of leatherette from ultimate auto trimmers and to be honest, the material feels nice but nothing like leather - to me anyway, it feels a bit rubbery. But it does look nice and I'm sure it'd be just as durable/comfy.

here's my seats (leatherette)...jus gota give it a nice clean everynow n then, have only received compliments

[Wacky Dee]

very nice!

however one thing i like about this other place is that the GTT seat covers have more horizontal lines just like the factory seats. I know, small detail but still nice .. but a not so good thing about the reborne leather place (imo anyway) is theirs are not slip ons so you have to rip the factory trim off the seats

How long did it take you to do yours?

Yeah i heard that u could either take the original trim off to get a better fit, (didnt like the idea of that) but i think they look fine as they are...takes a couple hrs all up to unbolt the seats n then get them really tight on, 4hrs roughly? with gf helpin out.

but i re-did mine after the 1st go didnt fit that snug, goodluck wit it

1. I havent done the parcel shelf yet as not sure what i want to do with speaker setup. Door trimmings.. you need to pull the originals iff and he supplies you with material.. it's a simple arts & craft day of outlining the piece and cutting it out.. i then used a glue (can't member which one) and glued it on, tucked the edges in and waited for it to set.. both the parcel shelf and door trims is just supplied in material and you cut to fit (at least thats how he was doing it when i bought mine)

2. leatherette and reborn leather is the same product as he's the same guy i bought from.. he was called Symrna Import Export when i bought mine.. his name is Max Ungun and he's on other forums with username maxfromaus. he once called his material leatherette and yeah it's not 100% like leather

3. i never took my factory covering off.. instead i plan to go to a autotrimmer or something similar that can sow the edges into the seat seamlessly and i will just remove if i wish to return to factory

4. he actually has factory seats and he has removed the covering and uses them for his cutting measurements, so your seats will be the same size as factory (lines and all)
