Now I wish I had waited on the 2003's
My Nissan dealer just got in their first 2k3 Titanium Edition. Its Polished Titanium/Frost Leather. Man that color is awesome! Its got me wanting to get my car painted and I've only had it 2 months!
Another thing I noticed was that it did NOT have the aluminum drilled pedals. I thought this was part of the package.
I also like the Titanium accented trim around the stereo and air vents. Has anybody tried painting these pieces themselves? Whats the easiest way to get those trim pieces off?

Where did you get your kit from?
I like the Glacier Pearl, too. When I got mine, they had a glacier pearl and a black one on the lot, both identical in options. I couldn't make up my mind. I decided I would choose when I got to the lot to fill out the paperwork. When I got there someone was buying the glacier pearl one. I took that as a sign!

Ok. I dug up the box it came in, here's where it came from, its the Synthetic Brushed Aluminum Kit. Its a little more than $200 ,,, well worth it. Ive seen Real Brushed Aluminum, but I didnt like it because its too shiny for me...

Just remember Suds1 , Cheaper is not always better. Sometimes by trying to save some $$, you end up spending more in the long run.... My.02

I'm just tired of spending money on my car. I am truly addicted. I may try the paint and if it doesn't work out, I can always order the Titanium colored pieces from Nissan fairly cheap.
How do the dash kit pieces attach to the dash? Does each piece have its own adhesive backing or do you have to use some kind of adhesive gel?

They have an adhesive backing, and a liquid you apply with a sponge, between both of these , it forms a bond that cannot be separated ! That thing STICKS for sure. Dont make any mistakes either, becuase you will be screwed.

I'm wishing now that I had gotten the Sterling Mist with black interior. At the time I thought the Sterling Mist was a little too light for my taste. The Titanium is a little darker and seems a little shinier too.
Oh well, hindsight's always 20/20!

That was a very quick response from the company though!
