This is an awesome build! I have the same pathy in white. And I'm looking to touch up some trim pieces and paint them black. You used a mattte finish? I may have to drive to queens and admire this pathy! I'm in nj by the tunnels.

anstantanople- just pm me whens a good time to meet.

Hey everyone, I made a couple of minor add-ons to the truck that i wanted to share.

First- I had an idea for a different set up to charge my phone in my car that i've been wanting to tackle for a while now. I purchased a Duracell Power Mat, and had it custom fitted into my center console.

So now when i hop in my ride i just throw it on the mat and it begins to charge.

Second- i had an issue with my reverse lights not being bright enough, so i bought this light(from the same company as the other lights to match) to help illuminate and 2 high beam people who high beam me >:D
Image
A side note, i had to replace my rear brush guard last month cause someone dented it in the parking lot. When i had the new one installed they didnt tell me they were going to install a different model. At first i didnt like it. It was longer and was curved. But i noticed that i had enough clearance to add this light so what the heck.

third- As i was on a search for interior led lighting i stumbled across "led door courtesy lights". At first i found them a little tacky, but then i then i thought of a way in my eyes to make them unique. Instead of going for the obvious and getting my ghostbusters logo custom made, I went for a caution strip.

Besides that fellas i spent the last few days cleaning my door jams. I know thats something most people wont see or care about, but since i own the car i never really gave it any love. I washed, then clayed them. It took forrrrrrrrrrever.

Hi everyone, just a very minor update. Last night i was searching online on how to restore plastic trim on a vehicle and stumbled across a couple of videos on how to do so with a heat gun. I had purchased some Mothers Back to Black last week intending that this was the route i was going. But i decided to give it a shot in a small not so noticeable area. And to my surprise the heat gun method worked flawlessly. I'm extremely pleased with the results. And went on and did my mud flaps,door handles, and that little area where the wipers come out of.

ps im not sure if this method has been done before,but im guessing it will help those with later model pathfinders.

Great thread I did this to my Qx4 this AM. Worked really well. I used a heat gun on high setting and keep it moving.
