I don't want my car to look tacky, I bought an infiniti cause it's so damn elegant, i didn't want some tuner looking 350 or something.

However, I sweat a lot in this heat and it's embarassing to get out of my car for work when my legs have sweat patches and my back is soaked. I'm a pretty fit guy, 6'0 150 lbs, so don't give me that, it's just damn hot.

So, any suggestions for seats, maybe racer seats that I could install that look nice, and not too ricey? my interior is tan btw, though I'm potentially gonna change it sometime.

 

Maybe you can get your seats reupholstered or get covers? IMO, "racer seats" will look ricey.

 

are there nice... non-racer seats I can buy? wouldn't reupholstering leather to cloth just be rediculous? or maybe are there ways to air condition seats?

 

If you don't want leather just reupholster to a breathable material. What does it matter how it looks if you're super uncomfortable in it. You don't have to get full on racing seats or some crappy pep boys style seat cover. Putting a nice material in there that's properly done should not change the appearance that drastically... Its not a Bentley. I wanted to put in fabric mostly because of the cleaning aspect of leather and the dreaded leather rip that most owners face, sold the car tho.

 

Thanks for the advice, makes sense. What material could I use? I have no knowledge of anything cept leather and cloth. Would suede be good?

 

some g35s came non leather. im sure u could find somone who would love to swap interior seats with u

 

that'd be such a pain to ship and ****. i think what imma do is reupholster the butt and back part suede. see if i can find a local upholster dude.

thanks everyone.

 

I think a cotton/polyester blend wld be the best bet.

 

get some nice sparco seats, I dont think they look ricer at all

im thinking about the same, but dont wanna loose power seats

 

Whatever you do, keep in mind that the side-impact airbags are actually built into your front seats. If you care about having those there and functional for safety reasons, you should probably consider that when deciding amongst your alternatives. Seat covers installed over your stock seats will render the side-impact airbags useless, and if you swap out to an aftermarket seat, you will not have the airbags anymore at all.

I wonder if anyone makes a perforated seat cover that only covers the part that you sit on and still look nice (rather than encasing the entire seat on all sides), kinda like how some people used to use those beaded seat covers back in the day, that way they are perforated and you aren't sitting directly on the leather. Don't get a beaded seat cover though.... haha... those things would literally redefine the modern standard for tacky and I'm sure it would stretch the hell out of the leather on the seat.

 

My Infiniti’s have black leather as well and it is 100-110 in the summer here. I agree there is nothing worse then getting out of the g at work with moist pants seat and the back of my shirt. Doesn’t look the greatest but I use the seat inserts in the summer that have fans that pull the floor a/c air and circulate it under your bum and behind back. They work incredibly well and are on Amazon for $50-60. It’s all I’ve found that really works.

For headlights Spyder has a couple options that are less than $250 for the assembly. Just have to transfer over the ballasts and HID bulb.

I DIY’d my 03 sedans headlights. Took the lens off and painted the inlay (except for the chrome reflecting inserts surrounding all three lights) flat black. Used some Ultra Grey to seal them back up and they look much better. Took the chrome emblem off the grill and painted it flat black, replaced the emblem, and they compliment each other well. Total cost less than $30. I’ll post a pic when it stops raining.

 

LOL way to revive this old thread...BUT...please do link me to whatever these are!

 

I'm hot and sweaty,
knees weak, arms are heavy,
the sun beats down like Serengeti,
Oldsled please link me already, moms spaghetti

 

313, F free world....

 

So I took a risk and bought this:


Its noisy and vibrates my seat on the highest setting, but it definitely keeps me cooler. would recommend.
