Hey there,

I'm new around here. I just bought a I35 two weeks ago. It has the sport package in there, and I am about to start modding it to my taste. I will install 20" rims for the summer.

I looked just about everywhere, and I just can't find a simple kit to change my interior's color. I'd like to have all the gauges, and clock light changed to a blue light instead of that boring color lol.

I am also looking for an exhaust mod, but I am unsure of what might fit on this..

Thanks!

J

Welcome!

I'm pretty sure that with the I35, changing dash color involves swapping of many, many, many compact LEDS, and isn't something that can really come in a kit. If you're good with fine soldering you can probably do it yourself, though.

As for the exhaust, I'll let the other 5.5 gen guys chime in.

Yeah this is what I thought.. Gonna be a tough job to do by myself. Last thing I soldered was a chip in my Xbox and I fried it :P

I really have no idea on which exhaust would give me a nice rumble sound...

I was wondering... I can't find any exhausts to fit for this car.

My dad told me that (he's a mechanic) this car will ping if I put in another exhaust because of the air flow that is not exact as nissan's specs. Is that true?

The clock is easy, its just 2 led's. Do a search to figure out the type you need cuz i dont know off hand.. I did it and they look sick.. The guages are nearly impossible to change though.. They use what is basically a small florescent tube, not led's

Cattman makes a nice catback exhaust. I had it on my Maxima.
