I got annoyed with the fact that there is no trunk pull in this car while my last three all had them. It's nice not having to grab a dirty trunk with clean hands and getting your hands dirty and scratching the paint all in one swoop; over and over and over again.

So I went with a rugged bag style handle design. I used a nice black leather to create it and chrome D rings to connect it to the tabs. The tabs are held to the trunk using a plastic dry wall anchor system going though existing holes that were previously occupied by plastic plugs that hold the liner on. If I wanted to remove it, you would never know it was there. The screws were then covered with black caps for a clean install.





Speaking of plastic plugs, I'm missing a number of them on that liner. Anyone have an idea where I can pick some up without breaking the bank?

While I was add it I adjusted the nut under the driver's seat to pick up about 3/4" of headroom which is nice. And I also reshaped and wrapped my steering wheel in leather and suede and did the same to a Porsche 996 shifter before thowing it on as well. I'll do the same to the e-brake and armrest when I update to an '03.5+ console this winter. I think the console, OEM GPS and adding an iphone connection are my next steps.

 

COOL
where did you buy the trunk handle?

 

I just said I made it.

 

Definitely a unique mod.

You can get those plugs/tabs online at Riverside Infiniti's Ebay store.

Here you go. 10 for $8.95

yeah to yo dealer and be nice, say the plastic rivets fell off and you don't know where they went, and they will just give you some,

thanks guys

 

Looks great. I've been trying to think of a solution for myself as well.

Any way we could see some close ups of the steering wheel?

 

Nice job. I was about to tackle this as well. Since everytime I'm around my friend with his G sedan trunk pull I hate him lol.

 

This is before I lowered the height of the shifter. It now sits an inch lower like in the first pic.

 

That steering wheel is looking hot. Nicely done. I need to do this I don't like the orange stitching on the steering wheel.

 

interior mods look nice !

 

I need to do this to my trunk, im sick of getting finger prints on it closing the trunk
