97-99 conversion almost complete inside and out

like the title says i have almost finished completely changing my car inside and out into the stylings of a 97-99 from it's current state of a 96 maxima. i just got my 99 center console w/ real cup holders just need the steering wheel for the interior to be complete on the exterior just need the trunk lid and bumper before she goes in for paint.

List of mods to get to current status
EXTERIOR
-97-99 front end
--grill, head lights, bumper and yes even fog lights
INTERIOR
all though not that many pieces its more time consuming finding pieces in good shape
-99 se-L digital gauges
-99 center console
-99 se-L home link different from regular homelink
-99 se-L ignition illumination light w/ simulated chip
--custom led installed for better lighting
---all wiring used to install was factory harnesses

other odd ball mods/mods
-96 i30 auto dimming rear view mirror (factory harnesses)
-96 i30 electronic gas door popper
-97 gle trunk popper and button
-power seat conversion (tracks do not swap over w/ out modification)
-95 a-pillars w/ stock tweeters
-cattman y-pipe
-custom b-pipe
--magna flow resonator
**waiting on microvision screen and dvd player to be installation**

I like the idea that you thought of converting the whole car.

Yep, all 97-99 SE steering wheels are perforated leather...at least if the interior is leather, probably for the cloth interior too.

-99 se-L digital gauges
-99 se-L ignition illumination light w/ simulated chip

^What's the difference between the SE-L gauges and ignition ring/chip? I'm very curious.

Thats a lot of work to go thru, It would be cool but to me i guess it wouldnt be worth it. If i could i would swap my 95 se steering wheel for a 97-99 se steering wheel and also change my dash to the 97-99 one. Also do the trunk and front bumper conversion In all i give you props for doing it.

gauges are a titanium color and the ignition ring is bigger to allow for the chip ring.

OK, thanks. The ring must be identical to the 99 ring because the 99 also has a chip.
