G'day All,

Need your opinion. As I'm sure you've read in the past, my car was broken into, dash broken.

Anyway, rather than replacing it, I've had it repaired and repainted.

The thing is, I originally wanted to paint it a dark metallic gun metal grey in colour. Subtle being the key here.

But, the guy I did it ran out of paint, and instead painted it another colour..... check it out for yourself. Now don't get me wrong, the workmanship is excellent, but its very showy..

Should I fix it?

The dash looks good, but I don't like the other bits, too bright, however in person seeing the car is white it would give a better perspective! Do I hear uv lights?? :D

Hey!!?! I didn't multilate my Skyline...its actually a damn good professional job.... just that it probably is just a little extroverted for me! hehe

Hmm, thanks for your opinions though, I'm still in two minds over it. Hopefully, when the guy gets some more paint, he can paint it a gun metal colour again, but as rrage said I'll enjoy until then

Thanks

    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
    • I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
