I have a 2004 G35 Coupe with the manual 6.

I want to upgrade the stereo and install a pioneer avh-????? (havent decided which one yet).

The problem I have is I hate the silver trim, I want it all black. Although I would consider polished aluminum that matches my macbook pro.

I found this on japan parts .com for $141, which I see being sold other places for $300.



Ive been having trouble finding the replacement trim around the gear shifter that is also black like the din adapter. Could anyone tell me where i can get a full black kit or the polished aluminum kit?

Here is what it all looks like now, stock.







I HAVE searched the forums and I havent found much information.

Thanks

 

First off that price of 141 is only for the Console, secondly your missing the AC controls. Your going to need both to do the conversion. There are tons of threads regarding the JDM DD install on the boards. Do a bit of research and you'll get the hang of it. check out grubbs for the full kit. they range between 300-350 for the full console and A/C control. Good luck.

here is a starting point check it out.

Ya I read all the descriptions, and all the DIY stuff for the install. But what I was saying is once I order the black piece and install it, it wont match with the silver that goes around the gear shift. So thats what I was trying to find out is where I can find the piece that goes around the sifter, but in black so it matches everything.

Also you said "check out grubbs for the full kit". Is grubbs a manufacture or what?

Thanks

 

Grubbs is a member here at Driver and has some sort of parts shop in the O.C. (CA). Good guy, friendly and will help you out with whatever he can. Just shoot him a PM.

As far as black console trim I haven't seen it, but would you consider modifying your current piece? Probably save a lot of money that way anyhow.

 

Thanks for the link, very helpful.

 

You could also buy vinyl and wrap that whole area so everything matches, the double din piece and the shifter area.

 

Preciate it, PM Sent.

 

How would I modify the current piece? Take a dremel to it?

 

Damn good idea! I got a homeboy that installs interiors in luxury cars at his shop, I bet he could wrap that **** easy.

I still would like to be able to find the polished aluminum kit.

 

^^ yeah, and then you're not limited to just black and silver, there are some here that have gone with a nice carbon fiber wrap. My local tint shop told me they do have all kinds of vinyl in case I needed any interior or exterior parts wrapped. If your friend can't do it then I'm sure your local stereo or tint shops will probably do vinyl wraps.
