Hey all,
Just got my 2004 G35 and I am loving it so far. The car is silver with black leather interior which is beautiful but the leather is in poor shape on the front driver and passenger seats. There is a big tear on both the seat cushions, small tear in the driver backrest, another small tear on the passenger headrest and something like a burn mark on the center armrest.


Obviously swapping out the passenger headrest will be simple but can anyone give me advice on the seats and center armrest replacement? Do I need to buy whole new seats from a wreck car and swap out the entire seat or can I just get the cushions and backrest as needed and simply replace them? Also I can't imagine the armrest replacement will be complicated but any experience or advice is welcome on that too.


Thanks

 

Cheapest option is finding better seats in a car being parted out.

 

Thanks man, so is it pretty simple to swap the seats once I get them from a parts car? Any idea if there is a DIY or guide of some sort to follow?

 

Should be 4 bolts and whatever electrical connections you have under the seats.

 

That is correct. Depending what year seats you have and then you buy it can be as simple as removing the stock seats, plugging in the harnesses on each and bolting them down. Or you might have to do some splicing to make the controls work.

 

I looked at leatherseats.com since Katz doesn't make for our make. $1575 for an oem style front and back seat replacement. Assuming you install yourself

Wondering if there are any newer Infiniti front seat options that might bolt right in? Like from a Q50 or something.

 

Just look on ebay very often. I was able to buy a brand new bottom part of the seat with the rail, switches etc for the passenger side for $150 shipped.

Also just recently paid $250 shipped for a whole drivers side seat (used) but it a very good condition..
