Just bought car, need to replace a lot of interior stuff

[tyawang]

So i just bought a used 03 from a dealer, the car's nice except for the interiors. The previous owner did NOt know how to take good care of the car because the leather's pretty messed up, and the instrument panel and the door handles r full of nail scratches. The lining at the top of the car is also in pretty bad condition, and the headlight is yellow and cloudy. So now i am planning on replacing or repairing all of the following:

- Driver Side window (it's really scratched up)- The top lining of the interior (theres like holes, and stains, and stuff)- Back seat's cup holder (the flip thing won't close)- The seats (leather is really wrinkled, and worn out, and there's cuts)- Carpets (stains)- Instrument Panel (nail scratches, bumps)- Interior Lights (won't turn on, possibly need a bulb replacement)- Headlights (it's cloudy, and the high beam is not really high at all)

So being a new g35 owner, my question do you guys is, how should i go about replacing/repairing these things? should i try shops? or should i go to infiniti dealers? i've searched around the forum and they're mainly about like performance wise stuff such as lights, exausts, not these small interior stuff that has nothing to do with performance. Thanks for reading

i would try ebay first

I Agree try ebay. then try

classifieds in the forums:zeroforum/228

Then try these sites:

infinitipartsusa.comhttp://www.overnightautoparts.com/infiniti.htm ... /o...th=58

Last but not least, dealer for hard to find parts.

basically google g35 parts, etc etc. Hope this helps.

lol tried those sets, but they don't have the hard to find stuff like the lining on the roof, or the cupholder, these stuff r probably usually not worried about when people buy parts... guess it's to the dealers i go... damn thats gonna cost me..

[astraldweller]

You can buy roof lining at any upholstery place for about $5, Pull down your liner which is made of foam and use 3m contact cement to apply new lining.Most carpet stains will come out with a good shampoo or you can buy new matt's from infiniti for about $100.Interior bulbs can be found on ebay or you can pull them out and match them up at an autoparts store.maguires makes a polish for plastic headlights but if they're too bad they'll just have to be replaced(you can also find them on ebay).The instrument panel, window and seats will most likely have to be bought from the dealer unless you get lucky enough to find it at a junk yard or on ebay.hope that helps.

For the lights, like astradwelder said, use meguiars Plastx, it's funny i have it sitting in front of me because i was using it to takes scratches out of my dvds! ha. anyways, that stuff works like a charm on oxydated/cloudy G lights. also on the front of hte bottle it has the front fender and lights of a G35, so u know it works on our cars. Everything else, yeah sorry, dealer. i wish i could help u out more.

That is a lot of stuff to replace, it's gonna cost you. Buying a G in a better shape would probably cost less over all.

lol thanks for all the input guys, especially astraldweller, ur post really helped me get an idea of what to do. Also, this may seem like a retarded question to ask, but me being a new g35 owner, i really have no idea how to work the stereo system lol... how do i change cds? and also, how do i change my current home address on the navigation system? it's still programmed as the previous owner's home

[AlpineReliant]

on the steering wheel, use the "change tracks" (left side, bottom switch) switch and hold it up or down for a few seconds and it will change cds. figured that out like 2 weeks ago. im new to owning one also. as for the navi, i duno mine doesnt have it. hehe.

If your vehicle did not come with the owners manual try this site

A purchase of the Service Manual may assist you also?I purchased the paper version for my 06 and the $300 purchase price has already saved me more than its cost. Mine was four thick volumes probably well over 1000 pages. Very detailed and very helpful.

If you're gonna be replacing that much stuff.....you might as well go with a "Pimp My Ride" approach and have a sweetass custom interior!

[tyawang]

lol, the pimp my *** approach is gonna be funny, i've never seen a g35 or nething like it on pimp my ride hahahaha guess i should make it even crappier hahaha
