Is that your garage door opener hanging on your visor? You know you can program that into your Homelink.

It's not two tone seats...it's just the shadowing of the flash that makes it look like that. And I hate the inserts, I prefer the stock.

Good catch MaxPilot...I'll laugh about that for atleast a couple hours

Not too bad looking in the pics, would have to see it in person. I wonder if he also replaced the peice that runs along the windshield on top of dash,
if not, I think it would look sorta weird.

Looks better than the "felt" stock door pieces.......Nissan should have done this........would have been a major improvement over the stock interior. IMHO

I have a 2004 silvermaxima, and I bought mine with cloth and they added leather. I got the side panel inserts and the trim around the front in leather also. I like it a little better than factory because everything is leather.

ditto, I may be changing these out sometime in the future, seems to me that the stock material would fade eventually or if It got a stain it would be hard to get out, with leather you can just wipe it clean.

The first time I looked at a 2k4 I never noticed the grille because I couldn't get beyond the beach towel fabric on the doors. I hated it. By the time I'd seen it 3 or 4 times I had begun to like it. I like the concept of cloth on the verticle surfaces for noise control. I'm only 8 months into it but so far no stains, smudges, worn spots or fading. It wouldn't have been my first choice but I've had lots of cars with cloth on the door panels and it has worked well. We'll see...

I scotchguarded all my seats and carpet. I've spilled coffee right in the middle of my drivers seat and wiped it right off without a stain on it. I'd have to say the silver cloth is pretty hardy.

I'm the kind of freak who would pay extra NOT to have leather. I can't stand it. I'd even pay $300CDN to delete leather if it came to that. If I had kids and was worried about cleaning up the crap they leave behind it might be a different story. I just prefer the feel of cloth seats. Especially this time of year when its soon going to be -40 in the mornings.

Thats why you have heated seats. By the time you clear your windshield they should be warm. It only takes mine about a minute to get hot. I'm half tempted to drive it right now, because of the seats, but I know it will get thrashed, so I drive my truck.

lol Yeah the heated seats are great. The heated steering wheel is the envy of my friends.

Though I'd have to say the VW heated seats with their 5 settings are superior. They are much more obscenely hot on the #5 setting than the 2k4 seats on high.
