Seen a nice q45t, 99 at the yard today. First 99 I seen with stone grey interior lately. I was able to get a back seat with the adjustable headrests and some stuff I needed for wheel wells.

But what blew me was looked like glued on wooden trims all around the door bezels, and some on the grove compartment, instrument cluster bezel and the rear area vent. I can’t say where it’s at because I might want to go back for it. I couldn’t tell if it came that way or if it was custom. But it was clean and even all way around. Looked slightly different from the standard trim, but I ran out of time to pull each bezel off.

Anyone know about this?

Sure it wasn't a 2000 Anniversary Edition? I wouldn't be surprised if they had some extra interior decoration.

Nope, the manual was in there too. 1999.

It even had the “Infiniti clock” and a different dash setup. I wanted to do a bit more with it, but the place is 70 miles from me, I ran out of time...always seems I have to drive out of town in the south to find a q45. Then I go back, everything would probably be gone. They were more available in Phoenix.

Interior was immaculate. Though the drivers seat I need wasn’t. I’m happy with the adjustable headrest tho. I swapped the cloth ones out of my maxima with an i30 long time ago. So I’ve been patiently waiting to come across a matching q45.

Also in Phoenix, I seen a 97 with mirror chrome stock 16” rims. The same ones I have, except they are pitted to no avail. Still looks good though, just no mirror shine. The fronts had wheel locks, so no luck with that. And I’m also finding some of these, if the trunk isn’t open and doesn’t have key...you can’t get in there. And I desperately need a spare tire, trunk latch, and trunk floor liners! The mystery of these cars!

And why do salvage yards keep these cars for 2-3 weeks and then they disappear????

Get a battery hooked up and use the trunk release, or if that's not possible, get the guys to bust/rip it open with a forklift!

There is a Diff between 98 and 99 - Badq45 has the 98 - I have a 99 - 99 has the clock (and 2000/2001) in center of console on AC vents - but this other stuff you are seeing - don't think its OEM

Nice Link Zipr - thx

I had my old 1996 q45t with wood trim all around the cluster and center console all the way down to the shifter panel.
