Finally, Got my New 2012 Altima Coupe!

[HumbleCali]

Alright, after so many dealerships and researching since April, I have my car. It is a base model, with just the floor mats & kick plates. No bluetooth-dont care. The cost was $20,390. With Tax and DMV fees the total I paid is $22,390. Which is not bad, if you agree/disagree?

ALSO, this was interesting, not sure what your guys's experience is, we asked about them installing aftermarket leather since I have fabric seats. They said they DO NOT and that neither do most dealerships, they only send you off to a 3RD party auto shop, because of legal & liability reasons. Because the front 2 seats have Airbags, so the leather would cover it up or interfere. Any 1 know of this? What should I do?

So does anyone know about the leather question, as far as dealers dont do it, is that true, legal stuff, airbags....?

at the dealership they said it cost about1000+ and they don't even replace the interior, they wrap leather around it or something. This was asked about 3 years ago when I wanted leather. I ended up keeping the fabric, I think it doesn't end up wrinkling like leather seats do

Congrats on new purchase. You might end up liking the cloth interior, does not get hot or cold like leather. I went to a guy who the dealership recommended and had the center arm rest leathered in black with blue stitching. You can also get seat covers now and save up for leather later. I'm eventually getting neoprene seat covers when the cloth starts to wear out.

Reputable leather kit manufacturers replacement seat covers are compatible with seat airbags, it shouldn't be an issue but you would need to check with the 3rd party installer before choosing a kit. I had katzkins installed in my '08 and am pleased with the results... It ended up costing 1800 with heated fronts and perforated centers. Most likely the price you were quoted was without any extras like those. Also FYI the only part of the kits that are actually leather are the seat surfaces you come in contact with, the sides and backs are vinyl. Whatever you get the installer should also put in armrest and door panel inserts as part of the kit.
