those two dashboards are different. look at the vents. where the vents are on mine, the dash is not curved like the one above.

Those dashes are totally different. 99Maxima5sp you have the new set up (obivously), the vents are more shaply to the car's interior. Vsamoylov's dash is more boxy and pushed in. You don't see that dash type on a maxima everyday.

body shop would have charged me more so thanks to my bro. he painted and did a excellent proffesional job.
sorry for the long post.

What kind of paint did you use?

i used the paint from the 350z. it is called brickyard and the code is ax8. my bro got the idea to use that color. first i wanted ax5 from the 2k2 maximas but it was brighter and i wanted a color close to black.

I meant what kind of paint? Like who made it? What kind of clear did you use also? And how many quarts did you use? It looks great..

Looking at those dashes more closely, the only difference i see would be the actual dash (i.e. where the vents are) Everything else seems to be exactly the same (HVAC/bezel, radio/bezel, shifter area, airbag location, etc. Just seems like he pulled off the top portion of the dash, threw on the I30 one with the I30 vents...

Not trying to insite argument but that would still be a rather involved proceedure. The airbag has to come out doesn't it. I love the dash of the max. Everything sits perfectly flush. Why would anyone want to disrupt that.
