@Joe. I plan to add the jdm kit, a double din with nav, Bluetooth, and rear view camera, possibly a heads up display, and double stitched floor mats. I bought a steering wheel cover yesterday. I would have gotten a wrap, but I just dislike the line on the bottom when the wrap goes over the bottom spoke. I just think it doesn't flow at all.
What are you going to do with the heads up display? I've heard most aftermarket ones are terrible and have ghosting issues.
The first $100 I spend on every car I own is a nice leather steering wheel cover and a high quality shift ****. Perception of quality makes all the difference!
@csw yeah my steering wheel cover is fake leather but still looks good imo. I actually like the oem shift **** so I'm keeping that as is. As far as the heads up display I still need to do some more research. I heard the same exact thing you've heard about most of them.
Yeah, that looks great and I bet it didn't even take an hour and a half to hand stitch in like mine did
6MT ***** wear much more for obvious reasons, so I replaced mine with a nice gloss powder coated aluminum ****, which had the side affect of significantly shortening the throw. Now everything in my 14 year old car is brand new OEM+
Looks nice Csw! I'm currently dealing with the fuel gauge sensors AGAIN. I'm trying to renew my tag but I can't pass emissions because of the infamous p0462. Thing is, I passed it last year with the same problem so I guess I was just lucky it didn't throw the CEL during the test. I'm praying it doesn't throw it tomorrow. I filled up the tank and had the codes cleared today. We'll see. If worst comes to worst I'm gonna send the cluster to get repaired.

I know i have that or a similar issue myself. Did you already try replacing the sensors at the fuel pump? I figured that was the issue and not the cluster since isn't it a signal issue being sent down the line? I haven't been able to research it all that much yet so I'm interested in your experience thus far. I was tempted to just replace the full fuel pump while there... I don't think I want to mess with the instrument cluster though.
I've literally replaced everything there is regarding fuel sensors, the fuel pump, etc. I've even had a mechanic try to clean the cluster itself with no luck. The only fix is to send it to the instrument cluster repair people on eBay or buy a new cluster from the dealer. The dealer wants $1055 just for the part so I'm in the process of removing the cluster now to send it. It's intermediate in terms of difficulty if you're not mechanically inclined like myself. If you are, it should be pretty easy.

Hmm so there is still a chance mine could be fixed by a sensor or something and you just unfortunately have the worst case scenario. It isn't probably worth the time or money for me to mess with it though since I will likely change cars by 2020... I am used to just filling up once I get around 300 miles on the trip odometer and not look at the gauge anymore. Mine's an 06 G35X with 134,000 miles on it.
