Are leather seats an option on the 2008 Nissan Xterra?
I know the 2008 Nissan Xterra doesn't have an option for leather seats, but can you have them installed after market? Has anyone done that with success? Is the quality good?
Source: Yahoo! Answers, 2 answers

Aftermarket leather seats are available for the Nissan Xterra with only one letdown... if you have the Side Airbags on the seats you can not have leather put over it. Reference:Nissan Sales Rep.

Why should I also consider these? X

Until the Toyota FJ Cruiser arrived a couple of years ago, the Nissan Xterra was in a class itself, the only model appealing to young people who not only wanted off-road capability but an interior versatile and rugged enough for taking along equipment.

The FJ Cruiser is even more of a mountain goat off-road, but its interior is tighter and not as useful or versatile as the Xterra's.

The new Wrangler Unlimited is much larger than the model it replaces and upholds much higher standards of safety and refinement than the old one; with its very boxy, rugged styling, it's perhaps the main alternative to the 2008 Nissan Xterra.

Finally, for those who don't need rugged off-roading ability but still want a high-utility, easy-to-clean interior, the fuel-efficient Honda Element might just fit their needs.
