i recently acquired Black leather seats for my 99 Maxima. the Seats are out out of a 95 Maxima GLE except for the rear bottom bench which is from a 98 SE. anyway i didn't get the door panels and i would like to have the complete leather interior look. i was in the group buy forum and stumbled upon Maxed Up door panel insets for $35 shpped. which seems like an awesome deal. i was wondering if anyone in here has installed these on their own car and what do they think of them. was the install difficult? these are some pictures i took off his webpage they look really good but i am not a professional so i am scared as to how difficult the install would be. i just want plain old black so that the interior looks stock. thanks for any info guys.

umm, i hope the cloth isnt still under there

 

why do you say that? any pics or advice would be cool those pictures aren't of my car those are sampled that was on his website

 

Reason I ask is that there has to be something to make it look fluffy

 

i have them... it took a little bit of time but it came out looking good. i would take pics but i have no digital camera plus it looks pretty much like the pic you have above... just a different color.

 

would you recommend them and as was asked before do you have to remove the fabric?

 

yes i would recommend them. it's an inexpensive way to improve the look of your interior and the nice thing about them is that NO, you don't have to remove the existing fabric. i would pm maxed up as he is the one selling them, and i'm sure he could answer your questions more fully than i could. but i would definately recommend them. (tell him that apbrian112 sent you)

 

I have the CF ones as in the image above installed. They do take a little time, but really only for lining them up right so that you have an equal amount of fabric on all sides to push into the crease. Once you being pushing the edges in go all the way around, the fine tune after ward. They came out nice, I also used some 3m adhesive spray just to hold them a little better in the center, but it didn't really hold to well. After a few days they flufed out, a week after the drive side one popped out on the bottom, definately didn't give it enough on the bottom to hold in there, so I need to redo that one

 

So if you decide to remove them, the oem cloth underneath is destroyed?

 

well how else would you make them look fluffy?? i installed my black vinal ones right over my cloth and to be honest it looks 1000x better than how the OEM inserts look.
