Hello everyone. As I can see a lot of people are doing a lot of stuff lol.

I really want to focus customizing my interior first. A few major areas:

-> Custom Dash/Gauges

-> LED Interior lighting

-> Sound

Would anyone mind discussing with me options, tips, ideas about where to go and things that can be done?My Pathy is black and I want a theme of blue and maybe a little bit of silver/chrome on the insideThanks everyone

silver/chrome sounds hot....you can start by painting your bezel around your stereo with regular spray paint, giving it a good couple of coats and a nice clearcoat. As for the LED lights....ebay is your best bet but some of the sizes are HARD to find or super expensive....i made my own dome lights and wired them up to the 12V, the nice thing is that everything is 12V so you can pretty much just slap some wires in there and hook it up to an LED board circuit with some soldering skills and you got yourself a great lookign interior. Huge difference in mine it looks like the moon is lighting the inside and my leather shines it looks great

good luck

Has anybody ever ordered custom dashes from ExocticWoodTrim??? I was thinking of buying their brushed aluminum finish custom dash for my Pathfinder, but would like to know of their quality.

Any experience would be helpful...

im quite a car audio fanatic here so ill just give you what i suggest you could do

start off with a good quality cd player..i have an alpine cda 9811..sounds fantastic

2-replace the stock 6.5" speakers i personally like the alpine type r components many other brands such as polk audio MB quarts and polk should do the trick

a neat trick that im planning to do soon would be using a cheap indash tv screen..many brands like pyle sell em for about $100 on ebay..then getting a mobile dvd player which could fit snuggly in the center consolethe finished product should eliminate the gap as you have the cd player on the top portion and the dvd motorized screen at the bottom din

Thanks for all your help guys. I plan on purchasing these headlights - http://www.mytightride.com/nis....html in the BLACK setting.

But those are strictly just the headlights. I don't want my signal lamps to stand out like a sore thumb next to these Angel Eye Headlights. Where can I find custom signal lamps? Fog lights?
