So I have been looking all over for someone selling a Bourbon Leather interior...with no success. So I figured i'd ask here. If i'm in the wrong section I do apologize.

So I have a perfectly clean Black NON-SURROUND interior no marks, tears, or discoloration and would love to find someone local (Tri-State Area IL/IN/WI) willing to trade seats and door cards. So if you have Bourbon Leather and would rather have black....Post up here or PM me!! THANKS!! :dblthumb: We can meet half way or I will gladly come to you!!

Picture for reference and excitement!

This really does my head in!
Infiniti offered bourbon leather when soooooo few car makers did (mainly just Porsche, and Mercedes). Then about the time almost EVERY car maker offered this colour or close, Infiniti stopped offering it ?!?!?
I swear this company will never reach it's potential for success until they sack the marketing peeps with silly adverts (an Infiniti passes, my dog's sweater begins to unravel ???), and the team who set interior trim options. OH, and who could forget my personal peeve: Why the heck do we need to remove a wheel and dismantle the fender lining just to replace a bloody headlamp (tho other cars are simlar now).
Infiniti make a staggeringly brilliant line of cars, but they have serious troubles getting the message out and keeping with what consumers are looking for. When I decided to buy an M, I cursed the day I saw one with bourbon leather because after that, it was stuck in my head and it started a never ending search to fne one for sale. Then I found one (only one) at CarMax in another part of Florida and I happily paid their slightly over valued price for it.
My hope is that something heavy but not fatal soon falls on the head of the bloke who will come out of his concussed state and decide to add a panoramic roof option and more colours for interior leather in all the models.

I think a Moonlight White or Liquid Platinum M/Q with deep burgundy leather, carbon fiber console & dash trim, and a panoramic roof would be the bees' knees!

[quote="Larz"]I cursed the day I saw one with bourbon leather because after that, it was stuck in my head and it started a never ending search to fne one for sale.[/]i live in ny, just before I bought mine I saw a bourbon one in PA...3hrs away! I dove all the way there to buy it, and the car as a whole had many external cosmetic issues. I was pissed to say the least, especially for the price they were asking and the dealer telling me it was in excellent condition...strategic picture taking :facepalm: . Never saw another one...damn yeti lol.
All I got to say is good luck.
As far as the lights, that's because of theft. Nissan had high theft of their lights when they were $1,000-$1,200.

Thanks for the good luck wishes :P One of my buddies out here is looking at an M35S with a bourbon interior and he hates it so I told him i'd trade him LOL. We shall see how it goes!! :P but to add on what Larz said, I totally agree with you. Infiniti needs to actually focus on the big picture of what the customers want, not the traditional "piece by piece" approach they make. But that being said i'm seeing A LOT of things I don't like about the direction Nissan/Infiniti is headed in. But anywho... lol We shall see if I get lucky.
