I have tan/beige interior. I already have a gunmetal anodized billet shifter, I'll be getting another one for the e-brake. The boots are going to be black with tan or dark brown stitches. All I need now is a dash kit in gunmetal to tie everything together nicely.

Anyone know if they even exist? I've been searching online but couldn't find it. Any other suggestions are welcome.

 

take it off and spray paint it with dupli-color or take it to a body shop and get them to color match the paint. IMO, painting, if done right will look better than any kit since it colors the dash 100% with no edges

 

Yo.....wasup!!!! Trying to avoid painting because I don't want to hassle with scratches just in case. Plus simulating the gunmetal on plastic....not sure if it will come out nice. Not sure also which one is pricey, perhaps taking it to a body shop to get it color matched might cost way more than getting a dash kit already made.

Of subject:
BTW....I have the floor jack for Saturday!!! You got the rest of the tools, like a spring compressor?

 

Quality paint and clearcoat like what bodyshops use would probably have more durable finnish than plastic dash kits, And if it scratches, use polish and buff it out.


Yea I'll bring the other tools, were doing this at your place right? Dont have a spring compressor but Ill show you a "trick" how to do it without one

 

Where are you swapping the tires with the other guy? I thought we are doing all this at Wendy's parking lot? I live in San Fernando Valley, about 30 mins south of Valencia. I don't mind doing it at my place, I just didn't want you to drive any further than what you are going to be driving. But its cool either way. Hmmm, compressing springs w/o a compressor? This sounds like a cool trick. I'll be there around 2pm, I have to drive out to La Puente in the morning to pick up my friend's floor jack from his transmission shop.

BTW, I just realized something......you, 1FSTMAX, and me all have beige Maximas.

This thread is actually about dash kits, just went off track a bit. But I can understand why you moved it to the Tires & Wheels forum. I promise no more wheels & tires posts!

 

Nismo.......how much do you think it'll cost to paint the gauge panel, center console, air vent, and arm rest trimmings?

 

2pm? I will bring my floor jack then. were meeting up at the parking lot to do the wheel swap, but I dont think its cool lowering a car in a parking lot and dont mid driving to your place for that, Ill just go ahead and bring my big floor jack anyways because Im going to be taking my dads minivan since I got a ton of stuff to haul down.

no idea on how much the painting would cost sorry, probably much cheaper where you are than where I live

 

I'll call you around friday evening, maybe you can just meet me at my store its close to my house. Then we can both drive to my house and do that job there.

 

I have no clue about the way around valencia or socal so it could be easier to meet at 6flags since Ill end up lost or something
