i probably called around 5 nissan dealers around my area asking for cube accesories but only one had some items in stock so i went down and got some hooks, the guy at parts department notice they cost $25+tax so his like "i will never pay $25 for this things...here i will put my employee discount" so i end up paying only $18 total sweeeeet! so here are a couple pics.

I am on a budget for everything given our finance (singel income now and expecting our 1st baby).Will build some hooks out of wood. It will be challege to make it look pretty since i don't have much real wood working tools.

Also been researching about painting the interiors. My wife will kill me!!!

i install a couple things today both very quik and easy, first one the i-touch dock rite behind the cup holders and the nrg e-brake handle.i wont do a DIY in the e-brake because it requires to cut in half your oem rubber boot so i dont know how many cube drivers will be willing to do that.if you are interested in doing it just pm me and i will let you know how but overall is very easy, i took the pics with my phone so they are not the best

thanks, i buy the dock for the i-touch at best buy it cost me $10 and it comes with a lot of choices for installation like your ac vents or double sided tape, i did the double sided tape since im trying to keep the cube the cleanest, the conector is the one that goes to the kenwood stereo i just hide it away when i dont use it.

today i keep on my mission to swap all the sound from my xterra to the cube so i install the rear speakers, a set of rockford fosgate 6 and a halfs.

i put them on with a couple easy steps BUT.... honestly they sounded like cr@p

you know a long time ago a friend from the sound shop told me people writte the best of their cars and their threads at the forums, but not in this case...the quality of those speakers were as good as the oem,s i ended up leaving them there but il go on a mission to replace them later,my xterra used 6x9 on the front so i guess thats why it sounded so good blaaaah!!

I'm diggin these Cube things. I hate the Scion xB but the Cube is quirky enough to pull it off.

Before spending more money on accessories and sound please buy some wheels.

hhhmmmm! nop far from extreme dimentions!

those are prob the only pair left on the USA, they were made by a japanese comp. that was producing carbon fiber spoilers for one of my old sponsors so he give them to me and we never used them.....i will say they are easy 5 years old.

they only sent two pairs to usa and i kept both.

u know the funny thing is that other than the ripple hooks the rest of the stuff that i been putting on the cube is stuff that i already had before so i am just recycling parts and pieces.

Yesterday I was in my backyard just randomly(this is like the first time i went out there just for fun) I look over my deck and I see this cube and I think to myself holy s**** that is crazy. It had some crazy wangan wing on the top and some aggressive aero along with these wheels with crazy offset, he had 3in. fender flares along it. Car was all gunmetal pretty much, in rowland heights. How this relates? I have no idea.

K i finally had a minute to download the pics from the new rear kenwood components, i hide the crossover inside the door free space but here you can see the kenwood speaker and were i decided to install the tweeter, i wanted to make it look clean but at the same time flushed, i guess i did a good job since the guys at coastline motorsports thought the kenwood stereo and rear speakers came from factory good enough hhhmm!

here is a pic from the fuse in line for my woofer amp, i choose a hi fonics amp 5 channel (yes i had in on my storage it gets old to hear it lol!) i had it before on my audi so i knew what the amp can do, and since i want to run only one woofer and run more power to the speakers i thought this could be the perfect amp but truly i didnt run the speakers to the amp since the kenwood stereo pushes them very good so i end up using only the woofer line ,i will post a pic tomorrow of the amp and woofer
