I got rid of the OH ****! handles and installed my mic in the card holder. All tan plastics were done black. The seat belts are rubbing the black off on the guide but I can live with it. Also just threw a couple shots of the console and DD just to show the entire interior. Cost be about 70 bucks to do headliner and paint plastics.

Update DIY made https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-sed...r-removal.html

Special thanks to g35Mass who got my steering wheel controls to work.

Looks sick...

might sound like an odd question, but does the interior "feel" any different too you.. like how certain colors used to paint a room can make it seem larger or smaller? lol.. odd question but Im sure some of you know what I mean

It feels more warm, kinda smaller I guess. I love the transformation and is probably my second favorite mod besides my radio.

in the pics it looks like your clock bezel is not painted like your dash. Any plans to paint it?

Nope its not painted from the factory so I'm gonna leave it alone. I want to keep it simple and clean, less is more imo.

I'm thinking about attempting wrapping the headliner in faux mink myself. Do you think it would be difficult since the material is thick and there isn't any room for flexing/stretching? Any tips you could provide?

Since the sedan headliner is so big its gonna be tough. I tried wrapping a friends with just me and him and it didn't end well.

I brought his headliner to a local shop and the guy explained to me the difference between the real material that has a backing pad and is actually made for headliner and the stuff thats not. Its a gamble not using legit material, Im not sure what you have but unless you have 2 people help you then its gonna be a pain. Be prepared to fail lol. If I ever do another one I will buy the real stuff.

I'll take it to a shop then. I'm using faux mink. Used it on the rear deck and it came out great. Only problem I have is...I can't remember where the plastic pieces went exactly. For some reason they don't seem to fit at all lol
