UPDATED PIX Triple Gauge Pillar......

Just a bit of warning about the triple gauge pillar from custommaxima.com. I just received it and the color is terrible. It's the difference between Gunmetal and Silver. Our interiors are more dove gray/silver and the pillar came in dark/gunmetal gray. What's worst is that it doesnt match any color inside. Sorry to say I'm returning mine. I just felt I shouldn't have to paint the whole thing and then modify the tweeter grilles to get it to work.

I'll post some pix in a little bit! You'll be amazed.

BTW Just called CM and they gave me the big ole' run around about a restock fee etc... and how they think my car has custom interior!!
They finally took off the restock after I threaten to send pix etc... Why do we buy from them???

I see your point but it's not entirely CM's fault. These pods are made by www.propods.com and they are the ones who screwed up the color. However CM contracted them to be made and should have insited the colors be correct. If this is not the case then perhaps they will enlighten us on their side of the story.

Could you post a pic of it next to a trim piece from your car please. Also, where would you get paint to match the interior of the 5th gens?

Well Custom Maxima has been ok to me!!! I brought a Front Strut bar, Weapon R Intake, Bug/Rock Deflector, The clear bumper lenses, some bulbs and last but not least the Trenz Grille for my 03 max. The only thing they messed up on was the grille, it was for a 99 maxima. I sent it back and in 3 days had the correct one. Plus it only takes 1 day for Custom Maxima to send me an order. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm they send me another Weapon R Intake by accident, Now I have two of them.
