Nice can you share detail on the seat work? Did you find a shop, what kind of material/color options were available, cost?

They appear to be Katzkins.

Did you check to make sure the shipping spacers were removed from springs? Reason asked is front end in your first photo looks awfully high.

I have not done anything to the factory springs, are the spacers in these as well?

New Zs are shipped from factory with spacers installed in springs that Nissan dealers are supposed to remove during pre-delivery inspection/setup, but notoriously fail to (because so many dealers are sadly incompetent and lazy). Anyway, an indicator that those shipping spacers may not have been removed is when the front end sits unusually high and there's a giant gap between tires and fenders, which yours looks like. That's why I asked if you checked to verify that those spacers were removed or not.

No idea, nothing done since I bought the car new three months ago

it was the big brake upgrade for 19” wheels, as lines and shields. $2700.
I read on the site which says the Sport trim doesn't require the purchase of the shield since the stock ones work. Anybody reading the same thing?
