With LongBeachCoupe's help, I am now an OFFICIAL NICO FABRICATOR!

I have a degree as an electrical engineer, and with my electrical know-how and skill I am able to modify Dash Clusters, Start Buttons, Radio Units, and Window Button assemblies with OEM quality results!

No longer do you have to look at the stock "orange" lights in your car!

Heres what the Altima's STOCK dashboard looks like..

I can customize your dash cluster to a variety of colors and schemes to suit your personal taste.

Here is my BLUE dash cluster with white letters. The Screens, the "rings", and the needles have been changed to BLUE!

Here is another BLUE dash cluster but with blue letters.

The BLUE start button..

The Green start button

Maybe thats not your taste... Maybe your looking for something more unique or a different color scheme...

Maybe your looking for something more like LongBeachCoupe's dash that he designed.I changed the "rings" to BLUE, the Needles to a nice "White-to-Gray" fade, the screens to BLUE, and the numbers to RED.



I can change pretty much any of the lights/colors in your dash cluster to your specific taste and desire.... Green, White, Red, blue etc.... you name it and I can make it happen!

Due to the sensitive nature of dash clusters and the information they hold on your car, I will need to modify YOUR dash...

Q: Hey Surman, how am I going to drive around without my dashboard?A: ALL MY STUFF IS DONE VIA a "Swap Service"...I will send you out a "dummy dash", once you send me a deposit for it($200), along with full payment for whichever modifications you want.This way you install the dash i send you, and then you send me YOUR dash... I modify YOUR dash, then send it back to you. You remove the "Dummy Dash" and once you send it back to me I refund your deposit($200) for the "dummy dash"

Q: Hey Surman, IM IN! Whats the pricing for all this?A: The deposit for the "dummy" cluster is $200, pricing for the modifications is based on a "a-la-carte" system meaning you only pay for the stuff you want done!

PRICING:Dash Cluster: $350- Leaving your needles the STOCK red color $475- w/needles customized to suit your taste

Start Button: $35 for one light $40 with "engine" light $50 for all the lights

Radio: $200 (this does not include HVAC (temperature and air conditioning)

Window Buttons: $70 (this includes both sides)

HVAC: $135

I got em and i LOVE MY DASH!

Thanks for pointing me towards this thread, LBC. Please post pics of your interior

I have an 08.5 titan. Would you be able to change the lights out in it as well? If so how much would it cost, or is it same rates as you stated. I would like the gauge rings to blue as well as the needles, the radio and hvac in blue also.

My dash is the one above in the red blue white scheme

Does anyone have instructions on how to remove the dash cluster so I can send it to this guy ?

Look in his last post, He says

surmanm wrote:any cars led can be changed to any color all leds in new cars are surface mounted leds...

His location is right to the left (Staten Island, New York)

sick...interested in getting one or my Altima coupe.

EDIT: After long delays im gonna start this group buy anyone still interested just post. the people that i currently have listed i will contact to see if they are still interested im going to start a new list, current people on the list will have order priority. ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Group buy will be for 20 people .

I have about 4 spare gauge clusters so the way it will work is if your interested in getting sign up and once the number reaches 20 you send me a $100 deposit to be part of the group buy.

- The deposit is not part of your payment for each gauge. The deposit is paid to me as insurance on the spare cluster that I will send to you. As soon as the next person in line receives the cluster from you, I will refund your $100 deposit. The deposit also ensures your spot on the group buy.

It will be on a first come first serve basis so first person I will send them a spare gauge cluster so theirs no down time with instructions on how to remove your gauge cluster ( it takes 5 min to remove) and send it to me to work on.

I will do the swap between 1-2 weeks once finished I will send you a picture of the finished product and you send me the money via paypal . then I send you your modded gauge cluster back to you, and you will ship the spare to the next person.

$50 for leds and material.

Dash Cluster: $225- Leaving your needles the STOCK red color

$325- w/needles customized to suit your taste

All questions are welcome. their are many different color combination's, their are also different shades of color (e.g. different hues of blue or green)

NO MORE SORRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

I guaranty and stand by my work for life. anything ever happens any leds ever go out i will always fix and replace them.

Link to thread with pictures zer...coupe

i will ONLY be doing gauge clusters at first later on we can set something up for HVAC, window buttons, etc

Oh and you be da man for finally getting this going

Michael,

My colour choices are below:

∙ COLOUR OF RINGS/HASH MARKS - turquoise / aqua

∙ COLOUR LCD (sic) SCREENS - turquoise / aqua (are these available in this colour? let me know. If not, I'll adjust my colour choice)

∙ COLOUR ON NEEDLES - green (vivid "kelly" green, think Crayola Green LOL)

∙ COLOUR OF NUMBERS - if this is possible …     (large numbers= mph gauge) 6000K super-white     (small numbers = kph gauge) dim/darker turquoise / aqua, to coordinate with the rings and the LCD screens.

N.B.: I'm imagining a greenish-blue (not too green, and certainly closer to blue than green) when I refer to "turquoise" or "aqua", and not simply a pale ("sky") or peacock blue. Definitely not to be visually confusable with green.

I might hop on this.I really want to, and have been waiting a long time for this offer to be up.

But I'm real low on cash right now, depending on how fast this fills up I might be able to jump in

-there a deadline on this here?- if not i might have to jump on this later on.
