carnutatthebeach Posted July 26, 2018 Share #1 Posted July 26, 2018 I have a '72 240Z and am having a hell of a time finding replacement covers and panels. I want factory original looking as well as color match. Anyone have any suggestions? Google searches come up with nothing. I believe Nissan calls it "brown" but it's that orange tan color. Any help is appreciated. My car is paint code 113 Green and I really want to keep it original looking. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87mj Posted July 26, 2018 Share #2 Posted July 26, 2018 I believe Motorsport auto and zcar depot both sell replacement door cards. I THINK they only come in black. If you want another color, they also sell just the vinyl and you reupholster them yourself. I am not sure how accurate of reproductions they are. Maybe someone else can chime in on that? I seem to recall they come with the chrome strip across the top. I don't think the replacement dogleg panels directly behind the seats have the chrome strip on them.

7tooZ Posted July 26, 2018 Share #3 Posted July 26, 2018 I have Zcardepot’s door cards. I think they are excellent match’s for early cars 72 body with 71 interior, Eibach, Illumina, R180 CLSD, 83 close ratio, 3.90 gears, Zstory, SUs, BRE Libre wheels and front spoiler.

zKars Posted July 27, 2018 Share #5 Posted July 27, 2018 SEM vinyl dyes are another approach to the problem. They can be customs mixed by a paint shop to match pretty much anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the paint shop color match an existing panel and they came out fine. However I don't know if it would work well for seat covers. I believe your interior color is often referred to as Butterscotch. That may help in your search for any replacements if that is the route you choose.
