Looking good, i did the light mod in the center console with a white CCFL light, looks nice, does the CF trunk deck vibrate really bad from your system ? if you have one.

ChrisMan287 04-05-2009 04:46 PM

Everything looks good. AE your headlights and get some gunmetal rims.

I ordered white! but the guy sent me blue, so im like what ever, it will be the link between my under dash lights. ha i wish i had a system. The trunk is very tight though. Now i need to figure out how to close the gap.

and i was looking at nismo a34 rims.

DrunkieTheBear 04-05-2009 05:37 PM

Seems like it. A few mods listed there.

mymaxi41691 04-05-2009 05:55 PM

no tax return yet haha.

Bjs470 04-05-2009 05:58 PM

Looks good

mymaxi41691 04-05-2009 05:58 PM

What i do is, i have these things sitting in my basement. the trunk was in my basement for about 2 months, and i still have a front lip to install.

DrunkieTheBear 04-05-2009 06:14 PM

I would wax that trunk with some NXT 2.0 to keep it looking new.

Sorry, there is no way to close the gap on the trunk. We'll there actually is way. Once the trunk is closed, you have to go to the back of the trunk from the inside and mess with the height adjustment thingy... but once you do that... you can't close the trunk, once you have opened it.

I was the first one to get the CF trunk. Got rid of it fast!

Love the chopped shifter, it makes a stock 5th gen shifter look like a tractor's.

Car looks great!

Why CF trunk before CF hood?

jowo9 04-06-2009 10:13 AM

Hey, have you done anything with your gauges?? The 5.5 gen guages are so dim! and it could just be the pictures, but yours look bright and different than mine...

I got a good deal on it.

and my guages are stock. i think they just look brighter becasue of the blue lights around it.

thanks everybody!

mymaxi41691 04-07-2009 12:27 PM

So anyone know about getting rid of the gap??

Ahmad_1290 04-07-2009 12:33 PM

that was something i was contemplating. but im def gonna do it now.

soxruled0 08-15-2009 07:37 PM

what kind of lighting did you get for the front two seats and under the climate control I am considering doing it to my maxima I just swapped trunk lids for one that had a spoiler and I think that it completely changed the look of my car.

Rood 08-15-2009 08:07 PM

How difficult was the shifter chop and rethread?

If left with no other options on the gap, maybe you can find a carbon fiber strip to overlay the gap between the trunk lid and bumper.

Not optimum, but would likely look better.

Kquezada28 08-15-2009 08:58 PM

i like thats led strip idea!

NYBLACKMAXIMA 08-15-2009 09:48 PM

VERY NICE MAN .MAD PROPS.

ColdSHO 08-17-2009 12:23 AM

ive had my cf trunk for years, and the best way to get it to fit better is to just mess with the latch and lower it a bit, i got mine fitting pretty good, but over time it crept up a bit again on the driverside. as u can see in my sig pic, ill realign when i get back in the states.

mine rattled alot too when i first got it, u can use fiberglass sealant in the gaps and itll be almsot silent.
