How so? Swap out the Dash with an ALL BLACK dash. Meanin, vents, above the steering wheel, center console, everything not just a dash kit. It would look a hell of alot better than that off-sh*t brown color does with the tan (unless you matched that off-sh*t brown and got matchin inserts on the doors and seats.) Black an tan would look a hell of alot more sportier than what you got, and wouldn't look as cheesy/cheap as Carbon Fiber inside an Infiniti luxury sedan. Then after gettin the whole dash, you can do suttin like this to really plop the cherry on top...




Now, I know everyone's tastes are not the same, but if I had a Black I30 with Tan interior I would most DEFINATELY do suttin along the lines of this, along with a black dash cuz that sh*t brown is the only thing hurtin that cars interior.

When you say "carbon fiber overlay", are you talking about that cheap-looking adhesive plastic that people actually think is carbon fiber? I can't stand that poser junk and it definitely has no place being in an Infiniti.

And what the frick does "suttin" mean?

.....

But, again he has a Black I30 and wants a sporty look, and I think the Black on tan look suits his needs perfectly. I told you before that I loved your interior and wish you would get rear inserts(even though you'd lose the heardrests ...) and matchin door inserts as well, but me personally wouldn't want that color if I had a black car. If I had Gold/Beige, White or something of some sort then your's is perfect and it also makes it look more luxurious too.

PS: Cefiro if you do end up deciding to do the all black dash swap I can give you my Black Steering wheel, since I should be installing my Cefiro Wood Wheel very shortly.
