INTERIOR OVERHAUL...COMPLETE!!! (A year in the life of...)
DOORS (REAR)
As you can see that doors have been wrapped in suede for the upper halves and painted for the lower halves. The trim has also been painted, and matching leather inserts have been installed. These shots also show off the black carpet, which I made myself. The carpet is QUITE black, but the floormats are even darker, hence why the hues look a bit off. In reality, they're not.
I have also included shots of the door sills.

DOORS (FRONT)
As you can see that doors have been wrapped in suede for the upper halves and painted for the lower halves. The trim has also been painted, and matching leather inserts have been installed. I have DynAudio MD100 tweeters installed in the front. I have also included shots of the door sills & AE pedals. The courtesy lights are 15-LED arraay assemblies w/ 20,000MCD LEDs

UPHOLSTERY
The seats are wrapped in a custom-made two-tone leather I purchased from a GD on the .org. The quality and fit is PHENOMENAL. The pic kinda sucks, but you can also see the rear deck, which has been wrapped in black suede.

ROOF LINER
The roof liner was simply dyed black, I'd actually have been better off wrapping it in suede, as it soaked up a TON of dye. I have also included some pics of the switchpanel which controls the nightlights...

REAR BENCH/DASH
This is a shot of what the rear bench looks like with the door shut. The dash was removed ans wrapped a SECOND time as it faded something awful this summer. I treated it with a UV-spray and took ALOT more time with the wrap...came out MUCH nicer.

DOOR LEDs
I have done the typical window switch LED replacement as well as some other goodies. You will see an idividual LED in each of the little door-handle cup thingies
The rear seats have a forward-firing 8-LED array to shine light in the back, the map pockets on the fronts have a 16-LED array tucked away.

MISCELLANEOUS
Lastly, here is a shot of the cluster reflecting off of the steering column and the windshield. Also, I have included a shot requested by Tim a LOOOONG time ago...it's a pic of all of the fasteners not needed/forgot to be put back in.

Jesus Metal, Thats Amazing, I'll be doing the same thing to my max When I get back from Peru in Sept I going for a month, so kind of got to save money right now. I started my project but totally scrapped the idea and decided to go with something like yours,
Using Black UltraSuede, and Charcoal as my colors, and Blue LED's and CCL.
Whats the site you got your seats I really like them but in black and charcoal.

Thanks for the compliments, fellas! 
I consider this work as a homage to all of the innovators and enthusiasts alike that keep the Maxima-modding community strong.
This whole project has been nothing short of exhuasting. I will post details in the first post space tommorow. I STILL have some projects left to be done, so my rest is yet to come.
I am working on fiberglassing the entire trunk over the course of this month, on top of planning a wedding...thank-god I can at least go to the gym during my lunch break!

i tried to follow along with everything on your other progress threads. it was always interesting to see what you were doing next. and now with it all together, it looks incredible. i'm sure the pics don't do it justice, though, so you'll have to be sure to go to Maxus next year!
Dan, your gauges are like effing sunlight!!
Incredibly work. If I were ever to do something like that I'd do a two tone with a bit more of a toned down color. VERY VERY SICK! I'm impressed. I'd be afraid to sit in the bish

I absolutely love everything but one thing... the center console. The part under the climate control looks uneven and very bumpy.
Other than that, it's beautiful, love the seats and the super black carpet ! Door panels are also off the hook !
