hey all, i am seriously considering upgrading to an armada/qx56 in the near future. i currently drive an 01 qx4 and absolutely LOVE it but need/want something a little bigger. the armada seems more in my price range but coming from the infiniti there are some features that i can't overlook that don't come in the armada. for starters, the woodgrain steering wheel and woodgrain trim, xenon HID headlamps, heated rear seats, electroluminiscent gauges, the analog clock, etc. how hard would it be to get these features into an armada? i know some may be a quick fix (i.e. indiglo gauges (if they make them) instead of electroluminiscent) but what about the others? somebody let me know because i don't want to settle for an older model qx just because of price when i can be getting a newer model armada for the same price/cheaper. thanks!

You could convert the Armada dash over to look like the QX56 dash if you wanted that look. Find an aftermarket (or Infiniti original) wood steering wheel, order a wood dash kit, and you could swap out the center trim section with QX parts to include the analog clock. I would be very surprised if there was not an EL dash available for the Armada from an aftermarket manufacturer.
