I'm looking to take out my current dashboard, and put in a red an black one, the only problem is im having trouble finding custom dashboards for the 2007 versa. Anyone know of a site?

i dont think anyone makes custom dashboards for them.

and be careful using bright colors for dash's... it reflects on the glass. And in sunlight you'll be blind. A black dash is sorta like the idea of football players putting black below their eyes.

Plus... colored dashes look cheesy and cheap IMO

but, to each his own.

I also did this.. I took the silver pieces and painted them orange at first.



Than I decided to go with the Matte Black look..

I don't recommend the way that I removed the pieces.. lol You can see on the top of my dash there is a giant hammer and there's a screw driver there somewhere as well.. but I just used a flathead screw driver and pried the pieces up, they practically come off but there is a screw that is screwed in from behind the dash.. I searched for 3 days and couldn't find it so I just broke it off. It fits back on just fine, but I don't recommend others to be careless like I was.

Haha, I get that every time I have to show that picture. In my opinion the Matte Black looks a lot better than the orange.. I loved the orange at first but than it just started to look tacky and weird. So I figured I'd paint them matte black. I have a black exterior. I love it / hate it.. lol


While we are on the subject, I have plans of wrapping them in Matte Black vinyl. That way they will look GREAT! and won't ever chip or fade or anything. It will also allow me to cover some other parts of the car I have been REALLY wanting to cover (The automatic shifter, and the volume/cruise controls on the steering wheel). I'll post pictures when I do it.

The passenger side piece is a b!*$& to get off because its connected to the pillar. It has a little square piece that comes off of it and the pillar hooks into it. But what I did was got a cloth and placed it over a flathead screwdriver (so it didn't scratch) and pried underneath the panel. It pops out just fine until you get near the vent. On the top right of the vent there is a screw thats holding them together. I have NO CLUE how to get it out. I spent like 2 days searching underneath the dash and everything. So I took a chisel and a hammer and just broke it off. Than I took the screwdriver and popped out the piece holding it to the pillar.

It pops back in just fine even though I broke the piece were it was screwed in. I don't reccommend doing it that way. I just did it cause I wanted it off. :P

Let me know if you find a better way! lol

I ordered vinyl to cover my hood in matte black and they also had some carbon fiber wrap and I ordered it so hopefully it'll look good.

That carbon fiber vinyl is like gold man!!! I got a the 4" X 8" sample size to cover my shifter knob and then got addicted to it. Covered my laptop mouse buttons and ipod shuffle. It looks great and has a texture to it that makes it really pop. I know some ones done their dash in that stuff already and I too would like to do this as well as the top of my laptop.
