Need a dash kit for my Maxima.

Akilldema · 06-20-2010, 08:42 PM

I have a 2000 Maxima SE that the wood trim around the stereo, controls and vents has been ruined by Ga humidity. It's no longer glossy and just looks like shit really. I want to replace this stuff with something else (I've heard of other colors such as "black marble") and get it looking nice again. Anyone have any experience/suggestions with this?

lol. True dat. Went with this one:
http://www.carid.com/2000-nissan-max...tem-34361.html Got genuine carbon fiber. It was about 250$ but I think it'll make the car look a lot better.

You get all these pieces? Seems like a good deal, actually.

Akilldema · 06-23-2010, 09:21 PM

Yep, all of those pieces are included. The interior is black leather (5 speed too) so I think the CF will look pretty nice. The price on the link is for fake wood/cf. For real wood or cf I think it was an additional 30%. Still worth it though. Now I gotta get a hookup on a double din DVD/GPS unit.

That should look pretty sweet, dude

I don't have any experience with them directly, but have heard those overlay kits are a PAIN IN THE ASS to get just right... Time and lots of patience are required to get it to look good.

That said, eBay would probably be a good place to start...

Damn... the one for my truck looks pretty fucking slick...

Not $273 fucking slick, but pretty slick.

No, I have family in Ga, that's where I was raised. I bought the car from an officer shipping out of fort benning.
