Why would I regret ?

 

it will look funny with leather. BUT again, it is your choice.

 

I have seen a few luxury sports cars with leather consoles and it looked and felt really nice.

 

maybe in the ghetto

Maybe you should get out more.
And look at more cars > $40K

 

Why should I when I cant afford them, you gonna buy me one?

 

Sounds good. What's your address so I may have it delivered?

 

I'll pm you right away. We can go half and half on shipping. Let me go and choose the car I want now.

 

A leather dashboard would be a kin to gold spoked daytons extended outward with the car slammed to the ground. Don't forget the hydraulics and the gold antenna.

Sounds good.

I'm just kiddin - everyone has different tastes. I get made fun of all the time because of my personalized license place. To each his own. We are all here using up our time on this silly forum because we are nuts about customizing our Zs. Everyone likes something different. Go for it.

 

I keep changing my plate. I really want 28" spinner rims and jack the Z up about Suburban height. Then I will be comfortable around here (where I live, not this forum).

 

man, each time you change the plate, take 2 months and $99. Crappy CA.

 

At least you don't have your plates censored worse than network television. They (AZ) wouldn't let me put "pimpin Z" on my car because Pimp is apparently an offensive term. SUPER WEAK.

 

I thought PIMP was a career choice, not a offensive term. I see children wearing t shirts with that on it every day.

I went with OHOH7 this time.
$25.

 

Yeah, me too - but tell that to the uptight right wing religious cooks that run this state. I guess we have to save the children or something.

 

Csaba, have you done anything to your dash yet?

I can't figure as to why they would say don't paint it. That texture on there is a rubber based compound so it has the chance of flexing or rubbing if you paint over it. Now if they epoxy over it that might be a solution (some have done this, toykilla has) but I personally think the sanding is the way to go.

They also may have said no sanding since sanding the parts is a major pain in the a$$!!!!

Here is the shifter piece that I finished last week (finally). I sanded the texture completely off it before I painted it. It looks pretty sweet.

 

Looks really great! Where did you get the paint?
I haven't done anything yet. Still thinking about what should be done.

 

I got the paint at English Color. They are the closest dealer in PPG paints to me.

But the where isn't as important as what. When you have this done just be sure to use a good quality paint (there are a few good ones out there). I use PPG DBC line, it's expensive stuff, but it's worth it because it is a perfect match (or pretty close, I certainly can't tell the difference).

All you need is the paint code, you can get that from nissan.

As far as what you do, I can't say anything other than the painted does look pretty sweet. I've got the rest of the center dash parts in process sitting on my kitchen table (I just need to buff them to shine). When I finally get some time to finish them I will post a completed picture.

Good luck on this and if you want any other help let me know, I'll help when I can.

 

heheh J,

oh noooooo...now i have to mod something else...hehehe... You can take order on this stuff now. Lots of people interested in painting their stuff.

btw, it look 96% close. Just missing the metalic part.
