Question about coupe seat swap
I, like many sedan owners, am contemplating swapping my front seats for coupe seats. I may have found a pair of seats local to me, but here's my dilemma. They are black and I have the stone interior but with the black dash and console. I think they would end up looking good and I'd definitely have a unique set up. But as we all know unique isn't always good.
What do y'all think?

Haha. I mean getting a set of black sedan seats so the front and rear seats don't mis match color-wise. The only problem I see is if you have the brown-ish center console. but if you have the sport, your center console is silver right? The only other think you might consider is getting a set of black door panels or maybe color dying a portion of it black to help unify the colors.

Yep.
I have an 05 with the black console and stone armrest. Black sedan back seats are a good idea though. I'm not so concerned about the door panels right now.

Tim I was in the exact same boat, 05 with Stone/Black interior and I really wanted Coupe seats. All that popped up in the Marketplace were black Coupe seats. With all of the stone on the door panels, center console, seat belts and carpet/mats I thought it would look weird with black front seats.
After a year and a half of waiting I finally found a set of Stone Coupe seats and they were only an hour drive away from my house.
If you are going to do it definitely look for a set of black rear seats too.

I hear ya! I have a lot of patience and would be willing to wait but I'm trying to buy local to avoid outrageous shipping fees and since I don't live in the land of the G's (Cali) these seats don't come around very often. I have been scouring Craigslist and other sources for a year and the pickings are slim, especially trying to find 05-06 seats that are in good condition. Mine are pristine for 70K miles and I am not willing to slap in some sh!tty seats just to do the swap. Surprisingly I now have found 2 sets of black seats in the last 2 days so maybe it's fate talking.
If I do black in the front I will definitely do black in the back.
Sounds like you're on to something although Nismo rims and a Rookie bumper would look good on my ride. I'm already rolling with Marcus' old front lip.
