Hi guys, I've done hours of searching but just wondering if anyone knows where to get a dash mat (I hate the reflection on the windscreen) and if there was a premium speaker package sold for the v36 350gt sedans? The speakers are good but just wondering if there was a premium bose package in some models that I might be able to find second hand on ebay? Thanks

You are better off getting an aftermarket system into the car over the Bose system. It does not sound Bose at all and is very low quality in terms of sound. However for OEM it is okay-ish

What Colin said. If you're going to go to the trouble of taking things apart to upgrade them, you may as well do it significantly better than the Bose stuff and for probably around the same cash if you look in the right places.

And if you're going to get aftermarket speakers, you should get an amp with that. So front and rear speakers with an accompanying 4chn amp. Then a mono amp with the sub. This may be my personal preference but if you're doing all this make sure you get the signal at the head unit for the cleanest sound. However from my experience the signal is shit anyway so get an Addison bit ten to clean the signal up and with that a signal booster to boost the sub signal.

Again this is my opinion, I'm probably a snob when it comes to sound quality. Do what you think suits your taste in quality. But definitely if you're looking at oem Bose, just go aftermarket right away.

Thanks for the responses guys, yeah I wasn't sure how much better the premium speakers would be. Sounds like aftermarket is the way to go. It also sounds like the dash mat is a hard one hey. You can get them made in the US and shipped over but of course they are for infiniti's and designed for a left hand drive dash...

If a dash mat is that imp for ya, just go to a good car upholstery shop and get it custom made will sure fit better and you can choose color/quality of fabric too, im sure they will be able to make you one.

Try looking for 3m mats....i think they make them for the specific car or you can send in your own measurements. They are heavy duty, all season and traps dirt, sand etc for easy cleaning as well.

wow, found my old post. I ended up going with a Shevron dash mat. It fits pretty well but would not recommend getting the black one that I did. It's made of a very reflective material that puts a lot of glare on the windscreen - the exact thing I was trying to get rid of. I think it is still slightly better than no mat at all though...

      Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3

      It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
