Mod Blue Interior - 2nd Time Around
Daniel at Northwest did a great job the first time on my interior, but he said someday he wanted to do an "all leather" interior with the "proper blue".
After many months in search of a leather supplier who would custom dye a small quantity of electron blue leather, the results are in.
This is a truly international project, given an American car, Canadian shop, Romainian craftsmen (Daniel and crew), American leather (EB) and Italian leather (black).
I did the electrical work for the seat heaters. While the car was apart, I also had a chance to relocate the Garmin GPS into the dash and to shorten the Ripper shifter.
Thanks to Northwest for another great job and to Steven (one of the Northwest owners) for providing these photos.

Color is such a personal thing, but I must say, I like that much better than the red interiors I have seen. :thumbs:

That is SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET (and I have NEVER liked two tone interiors)! BTW, I LIKE the floor mats! Do you mind telling me where you installed the seat heater switch? I had seat heaters in my old car (aka butt warmers) and I loved them. I've been thinking about adding them in the Z too. Thanks.

Seat heater switches are installed on the console beside the shifter.

I hate to mod red. I think it is just plain wrong.
