Nice whip! You managed to get the NB interior, that's the perfect combo...

Glad that one worked Shawn, bring it by one Sat for a check out, just up the road from ya. Though this coming Sat think I'm gonna get roped into spreading that mulch we bought yesterday.

Thanks. I have mulch on my honey-do also. Perhaps when you do your brakes...

Suggestions on what to use to clean/ treat the 'leather'?

General consensus tends to be Leatherique but there are other products people recommend too.

Leatherique or Leather Masters will clean that up very nicely.

Wow great car, and love the color combo as well. The tan leather is a great look, not something you see everyday... Very classy, and being light will help keep it cool in the summer...

Thanks all. The seats do need some attention (cleaning). I'm hoping the lighter interior will help with heat, etc. I think we skipped spring here in VA/DC. We went from the 60s last week to upper 80s this week! Also thinking of black floor mats so the dirt does not show as much. I think they will look ok w/ black cube roof liner, etc.

Yeah it'd look good I'm sure. Another thought, if you felt like doing the swap, a non-ZHP car with black leather would be an awesome donor for you to get parts. Then you could pull and install all the black interior, and keep JUST the tan leather seats (you also wouldn't need to worry about the donor having sport seats). That'd be a great look, similar to the natural brown, but unique all its own...

When my 1st ZHP got sent to the junk yard, I swapped in non-sport black leather so that I could keep my natural brown goodies.
