I am just not sure if having a nav matters for an '05

 

yea im not sure either since i cant find a different one for the 05 i just want to double check so i dont end up ordering the wrong parts. my time is very limited so i want to tear appart and put it together all at once not haveing to search again trying to find different parts.

 

Yes, having the right one matters for '05-07s. You can find pictures and an explanation in my shopping list.

ojeez, I have sent a couple e-mails off to places that claim to specialize in JDM parts to see if they can be a reputable source for people on the board here. I also currently have a brother-in-law in Japan, who said he can get them, but the price he was quoted by the dealer was somewhere around $350 (they quoted him in yen and he used head-math for it) just for the trim, not including the a/c controls. If you're willing to spend about $400 for that part alone shipped, I can probably help make it happen. If you want help modifying the non-nav JDM piece, I can impart all the knowledge I gained modifying my own (so you won't make the same mistakes I did).

 

yea sure hit me up a pm or post pics of yours so i can see how it looks. i dont mind alittle extra work just as long as it will come out good. im sure it wont be to bad just extra time. ill go ahead and order some parts within a few days.

 

I'm a few thousand miles too far from my car to take pics. If you pay close attention in the video of me showing the Bose working, you can see my imperfect work. Definitely would be better looking if I had my dremel from the start.

 

hum doesnt seem that bad to mod the other trim peice. couldnt you just bent the alum. first then use the dremmel to cut the remaining? obviously i cant say for sure since im not looking right at it. and to think all this is because i wanted just to install 1 10inch sub then turned into 2 now im looking to replaceing just about everything. lol think im at about 2600 now in parts hehe.

 

You have to dremel the plastic off first.

My issues were that my dremel was buried, so I tried using a combination of kitchen knife, pliers, razor blades and such before going through my stuff in storage to get the dremel.

If you dremel the plastic off without damaging the aluminum at all, and make sure there's a clean edge, then fold all the aluminum at once, instead of using your hands doing an inch at a time, and then trim any excess aluminum at the corners, you'll end up with much better results than I did. Learn from my mistakes.

 

Okay, I've got a source, never bought anything from them, but they say they can get it. If anyone does contact this supplier post your experience so that we can give them a thumbs-up or not on being able to get the part needed.

 

I need this part, can anybody help me?

 

Nope. Hasn't been available for years. I contacted several distributors specializing in JDM parts, even had a brother-in-law stationed in Japan try and get one through a Nissan dealership. They don't exist, except for the ones already purchased and installed.

 

*sad panda*

Does it look really off when you bend it? I hope it won't be too noticeable since I'll be wrapping it in carbon fiber vinyl.

 

how much are these things? 300? ouch...

 

Right now, I'm thinking that cutting it may be better than trying to bend it. It bent ok my first try, but while practicing with my original non-navi unit a few weeks ago, when I tried bending it, the adhesive gave on the front, and it wouldn't re-stick very well at all. I think you're better off cutting it and then just smoothing the metal out instead of trying for the bend.

I'll document my next attempt, as I believe somebody's going to let me have a go on their in the near future.
