280z Interior Refresh

[rcb280z]

Beautiful interior! Love what you did with the cup holder. I just have to do the dash and seats and my 5/77 interior is done. I'm saving the hardest for last. Hope I can do it.

Oh, great write up! Lots of info.

Nice work Jim!

It's been a while since I did mine and I have to say the seat heaters are a fantastic creature-comfort - I use 'em just about every morning when it's chilly (I commute early) and they are a treat on my old back. Looks like you got the exact same kit as I used - surprisingly affordable for what you get. Did you cut the seat pan foam to keep the height down? I found that the seat bottom foam was a little taller (an inch?) than the original, totally worn-out setup and my head is just a bit too high up - makes me bend my neck at stoplights. 

I'm jealous of the leather, it looks gorgeous. I'm contemplating swapping my oem's out for Fiero seats as the Z seats are just not comfy for long commutes - will definitely go with real leather vs. the vinyl this time!

Keep up the great work - love seeing the results.

I was worried about the seat height with the new foam, so during the winter I sat on it at various times to see if I could condition it a bit.  Seems to have worked out, I definitely sit higher in the seat now, but don't hit my head on the liner so it seems to be ok so far.

I'm happy to hear your seat heaters have performed well so far.  They have a 3 year warranty, but I would no be excited to rip the seat apart to replace them.

No doubt while you were watching football with your favorite adult beverage close at hand.
