Looks like a re-wrap of the OEM seats.

Beautiful.............

The appearance of the GTR, when first released, didn't do all that much for me. Each time I see one now, however, it becomes increasingly attractive.

Looks awesome. Hopefully they did a legit respray and not just the exterior and door jams.

Aren't they all automatic? Nissan calls it Dual Clutch and you can shift it using the center console stick or paddles.

I could be wrong but I did not think they offered a manual (as in left foot operated clutch) option...

I googled a bit. It's your typical paddle shifting computer controlled clutch transmission.

Not an automatic...not a traditional manual...

I haven't driven a car with that type of transmission but I imagine it's great for "aggressive" driving but I wonder how easy it is to park with it. I feel like parallel parking or even reversing into a space might be tough.

There are a ton of these things for sale on eBay. What's the deal? Not living up to the hype?

edit: Nevermind. Realized more than half of those for sale are "new"

It's hard to say from the pics, but it looks like a quality spray (not a lot of op, colour looks consistent), so i'd guess it's a full job, not just ext/jambs.

Have you seen one in real life? And still not doing it for you? I know I thought the GTR was ugly until I saw one "in person". Pictures do not do this car any justice IMO.

Yep. Quite some time ago. I still wasn't originally impressed, but I now find it an attractive car.
