Looks very good!

Are you using regular spray paint, or vinyl dye, or something else?

 

Regular 'ol spray paint. The acrylic enamel coat I put on there really thoughens up the surface of the plstic, and can be cleaned with ordinary cleaners. All of my paints can be picked up at Pep Boys.

 

you are crazy... but I like it so far...... cann't wait to seee the end results...

 

Metal: Where in NJ are you? Far from NYC? You need to do this for me.

 

WOW I am impressed, I also cant wait to see the finished product....might give me a couple ideas for my girls 2k keep those pics coming!

 

Dang dude.....seeing that stripped interior scares me, I would be scared that I wouldn't get everything back together right

 

Nice and clean strip job of your max. When its all done and complete I'm sure you'll be very happy with it.

 

dang that looks so good........ good luck

 

Everytime I see that bone It looks better at first I didnt like it much but the contrast is now looking real good. So smoothe looking keep us all posted with pics

 

Told ya, guys...

I should have the dash, middle, and center consoles all in by this weekend...unfortunatley, it's going to be a few weeks until EVERYTHING is done.

BTW, what is that pic o you stripped interior for?

 

I dunno just to show the progression of the car and some of the stages its been through that was during my carpeting tan-black which couldve gone better but worked out. Next time I'd rather work with free form carpet. But anyways you still dealing with rain over there.

 

No, I like it...it's a very unique picture!

Alright, I'm off to put the carpet back in place, but before doing so, I ripped out all of the old padding and put some new, 19lb carpet pading in there...I dirve barefoot wheneer possible, so it'll be NICE AND CUSHY now.



...and what's this? You soon shall see!!!!!!



More pics in a few hours, time to put the dash in...wish me luck!!!!

 

yea what the hell is that....did u keep something hidden from us this entire time....bad bad metal!....haha

just kiddin bud....progress looks fantastic.....u gotta let me know where u got the stuff to redo the carpet, cause thats the only thing i wanna do to mine, well besides the leather swap....cant have black leather with grey carpet....that would be fugly

anyway looks intriguing

Engineers do it better....ha!

thats just the dash....and im assuming that blue wire is for ur super leds lol...

 

*DING* *DING* *DING*

...we have a winner! Leave it to a 4th genner to figure that out...you guys pioneered the stuff!

Yes, I now have LEDs in my vents...it's very subtle since they are a ***** to position, but look awesome, IMHO.








And I also laid down 2 layers of 19lsb. carpet padding...so much cushier than the OEM Nissan crap.

Now, who wants to see a pic of the dash INSTALLED?












































...anyone?





















































BOOYA!

 

WOW! Amazing....simply amazing~

 

now your telling me I have to take my entire front dash off to get the LED's in the side vents?

 

Your my hero!

 

You continue to amaze me! You got me thinking "does this guy ever stop" Absolutely amazing. You make it look so easy I can only imagine the imense amount of time/work that went into the whole project. Trully inspiring to say the least.

 

looks sick dude....wat did you wire the leds to a switch or just to turn on witht the headlights?

 

u should show a before and after picture

 

Man that's some crazy project. So when will you get this all done, I want to see the outcome.
By the way are you going to paint those white dash kits in the front in black to even out the color or you're going to leave them the way they are?
Well that middle console is very nice, I do like that the most.

 

looks sick

i would however redo the airbag cover in black, it just looks too "checkerish"

keep doing what you are doing though, you are a true inspiration

 

Did not wanna disappoint you but I also think that airbag should be painted in black, not just because it looks too "checkerish" but also ‘cause it will be reflecting in the windshield and annoy you every time you will go for a ride.

I, personally, hate that reflection. I discovered it when I took a long trip to Conecticut and put the white colored road atlas on the dark colored dashboard.

Just look a bit more careful on the windshield :




Sorry for pointing this out, but I figured it is better to find out about it now, than when it is all done, the hard way.

 

Checkerish or not, glare or not, these are things that I am quite content on living with. Ok, I should have some more pics, fellas...but not until Tuesday. I am exceedling busy this weekend, but I have the middle console in, and will have the pic up very soon. I am also waiting for this bugger to come in in order to power some other goodies...

 

Ooo the electronics/led stuff going in soon then?

 

Yep! This little beauty should allow me to add LEDs to the 6 other "uncommon" spots that I have yet to see anyone else light up. It should be good shtuff when all is said and done, if you are addicted to blue lights, like me.

Oh, and I also need this to power my Sirius Tuner, LCD screen, DVD player, and HU too...

 

awesome, ummmm make me some too

 

damn........ thats all that can be said...............damn

 

wow your awesome. looks likem your getting a lot done. great job man

 

before u painted the pices did u sand them down? did u use a primer?

 

them ull love this...my freinds car after we had lots of fun...http://www.cardomain.com/ride/402465

 

plz dont destroy the max like that

 

Dan, looks like everything has been said already. Great job, keep it up, cant wait to see the results yadda yadda.

I would tell you to get your a$$ in high gear, but clearly, that's only low 2nd for you

Progress is going to be slow for the next week or two. I am on nightshift and have something to do this weekend, followed by my 60k maintinence the following weekend. I am finishing up the painting this week, along with repainting my amprack since I would like a more "glass-like" finish on her. So looks like the end project will be done in...?

I am going to try and finish running my system wire this week, as I have NO speakers, and NO radio. My ride right now = teh suck.

 

damn dude. When your interior is done, it is going to look out of control. The LED's....wow....

 

Just wait and see...it will be badass...I promise...

 

wow a lot of work there.

i would consider the black speaker cover on the door panels in some other color. looks very contrasting.

the finished center console though is great. just the speaker thing don't match.

Im going to drag Nilesh with me and track you down to see this in person when its done!!!!
