I have seen them before. I had them on my T-bird. I am sure that you will get plenty of people who do not like it. I think it looks good with a dark interior. I wanted it but it is made for the cars with the tcs light. I might just get it anyway but doubtful.

I kind of like the luxury look it has now.

I think these would go best in a Black on Black 1995 Q45.

It would be like the Batmobile.

I wanted them to look more like my old 91 Maxima.

The way the Reverse Euro Guages looked at night while driving.its like all black face guages with white numbers then a flash of light and BAM! White face guages w\black numbers.

It looked really cool going through tunnels.

I like them.

I think they look really cool if you're moding your car. I try to keep my current Q stock , but if I had two - watch out!

Thanks.

This is my 2nd Q45 I would not have put these in my old 93 Q because it was SO Showroom. I had a RAID array go down a few months back and lost my 93 pictures But I can assure you the Inside was tip-top.

My 94 is not SO Showroom.I have listed the checklist of work on other posts.

This car will never be fully stock.It will have the ACTSUS ASE664 Controller installed (which matches the guages).Custom PC. Full moble video setup.Bose head unit will be replaced with a 7in Touch screen.

None of this will be done before the front seats and all body work (scratches and small dings) is finished.All the suspension rubber will be replaced first.as well as under Plenm hoses.and the other stuff on my list.So this Q will never look stock

I may take them back out later when I get a Black on Black.The Black on Black will be my Modding car Turbo or SC Weight ReductI want a set up like Wes but with Turbo or SC. (it will get done someday)

There is nothing like a Black Q45 interior.

Danny.. All lubed up I see...

Very nice, I love your Q.....

Green... Depending on how things go, i may be ditching the nitrous... I sprayed a little yesterday, and I just dont like it.... Once I get it working rihgt (bottle heater) I will see... but not diggin the whole nitrous... Its too cheap, and can cause too many problems..... I honestly dont think i'll ever get my system running to peak performance, as it has had so many iffy things added that shouldnt be the way they should be..... Im scared of spraying through a shift, in my already "iffy" transmission with its semi-sloppy shifting..

Any offers for a complete race gas and nitrous system out of a 1994 Q45t

I love IT......Really Really love it.

That's the SH*T right there.

I looked @ a 1995 Blk\Blk Active Q45a in Santa Fe.and loved the interior the doors were saggin and it rubbed me the wrong way. I saw My Green baby and fell in love!!The interior was not as nice but I talked him down about 2,200 for the leather seats and ACTSUS being light on.

The Blk\Blk 95 had no ACTSUS warning light but the Doors SAG FU*K That. the rear carpet was missing and a few other things.

Thats the closest I've gotten to my Dream of a Blk\Blk 95 Active Q SO Sad.. I should have just got it ..but something told me NO!

Not a big fan of the gauges, but I think it's just a personal preference type thing. Similarly, I'd like to swap my gold clock for a dark gray/black one, but I've been told by a couple people it wouldn't look as good, casue it wouldn't stand out. Eh, if I can find one on a deal, I may still give it a try.

Probably a good move there.......!!!

No offense to Rex, but I really dont like the black on the Q.. First of all, it doesnt look like a real good paint job compared to the 2 other Qs ive had....... Pearl white is the best I think, and the green is a really solid looking paint job... Every black Q Ive seen has bad chipping, swirl marks, and faded bumpers... Unless its meticulously maintained, its not real good, IMHO.....

Maybe its just because Ive never found a black on black Q and I am envious!

I agree somewhat, I'd take grey/black (like Jeff's) if I had my choice.

FWIW, black paint on any car shows every imperfection more easily, white hides better than any other. Ask any hot rodder, they'll tell you, only brave men and idiots paint/drive black cars. Note: I'm not brave.

Black is a hard upkeep for paint... I live in the desert.

I have never seen a better interior color than black for a Q45.I would swap interior colors to black in a heartbeat...

I agree with Pearl White for the best exterior color overall

But Blk\Blk is my fav...

Hey Rex,

Those switches on the console, are they for heated seats? I just realized that I didn't have heated seats. I wonder how hard it is to switch...

Hey Green,

Let's see some pics of your baby!

Heated seat switches and the TCS (traction control) button.

Not sure how hard, Wes has talked about it, as he wouldn't have swapped his old seats for newer leather without.
