240Z Seat Upgrades ?
hi everybody even though i put suzuki gti seats in my zed and changed the whole colour of my interior But another way of doing it would be if your runners and seat frame is good you could go to your upholsterer and could make the seats (foam padding section) to suit your body frame you could choice the colour and the fabric you wanted could match your seat to the rest of the interior instead of having to change the whole interior colour just an idea robert
