because on a civic I had a while ago, it had a black dash but it used to be gray and the dash didn't look primer, but it felt rough.
No gloss at all and it's soft as oem. Colormatch is dead on. I painted my pillars with that paint . I might have a oem black dash for sale soon cuz my painted one came out so good I might not install the black dash I bought. Too much labor

that looks good!
not to glossy or to primer
if you do decide to sell your dash, how much would you sell It for? just so I have an idea on what it'll cost me and what I should put aside to save for it.

and is the dash 2 pieces? top and bottom or one while piece.
and how long did it take you to remove your dash?

Definitely make sure you spend time prepping the dash before paint. There are a lot of oils and dirt that accumulate over the years you really need to make sure you clean from the surface so the paint can adhere. An extra hour or two here can save you grief down the road


Sadly, i've seen many cars in my youth with painted dashes that were flaking away.

Probably $180 plus however long it costs to ship. I didnt remove it I painted it on the car. I removed the clock bezel, masked off the whole bottom half of the windshield, center console, gauge cluster and lower glove box

Why not? Not the most ideal thing to do, but there was a time when cars didn't have airbags and people still drove around.

One of my cars has no airbags. It never came with them. Rear lap seat belts too. I still drive it.



I agree he should get them working however.

Plus shipping. Shipping something that big would probably cost a pretty penny

gonna paint my front grill and emblem and rear emblem black tomorrow and probably remove the "Infiniti" letters off the trunk tomorrow. going to try to give it a more aggressive look. also maybe plastidip the wheels.
I saw some YouTube videos on it. results look good and it looks much easier than using gloss paint and going through that process. and I like the satin color finish too!

this is probably the worse question ever asked.
but I have a car, 99 Camry. never been crashed. but it's reaching 300k miles and the engine overheats so it's gonna get the boot soon.

Is it possible that I can use the front crash sensor from the Camry on the Infiniti?

don't they essentially work the same, can I just wire it up to the Infiniti?

some one say yes so I can save 200$! haha.

what is a good mod to do for my g35 for about 100$
or somewhere around there?
my gf keeps asking what I want for Christmas.
I was thinking a cold air intake or an intake of some sort.
or what else is there as an engine mod for that price with some little hp gain?
