I have seen at least one max here with a carbon fiber gauge bezel, instead of the oem black. Anyone know where I can order one?

 

Check ebay.

Thanks, ordered it this am. My Paradox rings should be on the way also.

 

Will the Paradox rings fit with the carbon fiber overlay...? I think you might end up having to pick one or the other. I think the chrome rings are designed to lay flush against the OEM gauge cover.

 

I have the ebay CF overlay and doubt the paradox rings will play well with it. My overlay isnt quite a perfect fit either which would make it even less likely that it would work together

 

Got ics:?

OP, if you do get them to work together, post up the final result and show us.

 

I regret sticking my CF overlay in there as well it sucks. need a brushed aluminum one

 

Thanks for all the help. I just finished the job. I may revisit it at some later date to tweek it, but for now I'm good. It does make me realize how dim the OEM lighting is on this dash. It doesn't quite match the carbon fiber on my Momo ****, but it's close enough for now.

i want one! looks pretty sicky

 

Don't think the pics worked. but they are in my photo album if ya wanna peek.

Still a lil much tech for a old man.

 

Fixed.

Edit: Just kidding. You need to go to the pics on your facebook, right click on them, hit properties, and use the URL listed in properties.

On a side note, it does look really clean. Surprised the hell out of me. Very modern looking.

I may be doing this in the near future. Probably when I install my LEDs in my dash.

 

can u put pics here for rest of us to see?

 

Go to the OP's profile page on here. He has an album of pics.

 

 

Take a look.

that looks sweet!
what kind of tweaking did it need? a little trim here and there?

 

The panel is made for a Maxima with a stick, not the Auto. If you want to see the Gear indicator, (P,R,N,D) You have to cut out a opening for them. I also tend to worry about things staying in place, so I may add some adhesive to make sure it says in place.

When you add these pieces to your dash, it reminds you of how dim our lighting is. If you have the time, this would be a perfect time to upgrade your dash lighting to increase the amount of light on the dash. I didn't have a plan for my upgrade so I will address it later.

 

Looks like yours had the same slight misalignment issue as mine at the top of the speedometer and odometer gauges. I didn't bother cutting out the shifter indicator on mine, I can look down if for some strange reason I forget what gear its in...

 

hey - where'd you get those chrome rings from? I can't find them anywhere

Btw - do 4th gen rings fit on the 5th gen?
