Quest for new leather...90-93 seat parts for 94?

[tkd_q45]

Noticed on everythinginfiniti that the seat components (backs and seats) for MY 90-93 are WAY cheaper than 94+. Will these parts fit the later G50s? Or are the seat leather components not available? It's a bit vague.

Tom-if i remember right both of your Q's are the beige interior. don't know which seat(s) you need, but Mike Goodwin (goodyQ45) has a spare beige (94) in good condition that he can't use (wrong color)--might give him a try.

That's interesting,

The diagram on that site does not show the seating leather/cushions.

Wonder where we could get these?

Unless the foam is completely shot, you're far better off finding a local upholstry shop to replace the leather. If I remember correctly, just the seat bottom was over $600 Joe's price...

I recently (maybe a few months ago) called JOe and said they cant get that stuff anymore.....

Even if your foam is shot, an upholstery shop should be able to redo EVERYTHIGN for about that price... If I ever had that done on the 94 id have them restuff the seat and add a little more side bolstering...

I've always heard upholstery shops say the biggest cost is the actual leather... so yesterday I was at the junkyard and cut large swatches of gray leather off the rear seats on a junked 90Q... the parts of the seat that the body doesn't touch (or in great cond if it did) and the rear armrest. Next time I drive up north to NY I'll have my brother-in-law use it to recover my drivers seat and armrest.

I've heard that leather costs less than fine cotton!

Think about it....

How many hamburgers do we all eat!

Laugh!

Anyway, I just gooled a shop near me in West Chester, PA, they charge about $300 per seat bottom.

Thanks for the input - the local (Trimline in Redondo Beach, reputed to be good) shop wants $700 for just my driver's seat. Seems way to steep. Maybe I need to move out of state! Nearly everything here is expensive.

I was quoted $1100/seat here in Sacramento. For that price, or even $700/seat, you could buy a whole Q with good seats, part out the rest, and maybe break even.
