That center console looks really good, is it original, or did you touch it up?

Stereo looks alright too

I got them mainly because the way the heat shield is designed. It does such a good job of keeping the hot air away. I like them a lot so far. Fitment was pretty good (probably 8/10) Hoping to get it tuned within the next month or so and will have some numbers for you guys.

I got 2 new O2 sensors today. Also got my Z washed. Next is a RP oil change, and time to repaint my center console pieces. The last person who painted them did a crappy job and ****ed up my cubby. :-(

It is original. When I was putting it back together I noticed the trim piece that goes around the shifter got some paint rubbed off today. I was like Fuuuuuuuhhhh! With all that said, I need to touch it up now. I was thinking of trying a Sharpie?

I'd say sharpie wont be black enough, they always turn out with a purple tinge. I've got a can of duplicolor here ready for when i want to brave fixing mine.

Went to the dealer to check Airbag light. Powertrain warranty is still valid until next year and according to the Nissan manual it covers the airbag system too. Dealer says whole bottom seat needs to be replaced. Out of warranty would be 2k+, thankfully they've ordered it and confirmed with Nissan it's covered =D

umm never heard of them. unless you're talking about just one of those ducts that can be used if you have an air duct.

N2 bumper painted and installed. too late to mount bottom piece to bumper. will do tomorrow to get rid of string holding it up haha

fitment needed some work... even gaps between the inner parts next to headlights. had to do hood latch adjustment to line up properly. paint doesn't adhere very nicely to the polyfiberglass material so paint hue is off by a touch. lots of waves on the bumper. tons of sanding and prep work is needed.
overall rating of Extreme Dimensions duraflex N2 bumper... 2.5 out of 5 stars. what helps hold the rating is the price. but the time and effort into it makes me not want to do it again but save money for a better kit.

Changed the oil with Royal Purple and a K&N filter. I cleaned up the diffuser while I was at it.
