It's pretty easy. Start at the trim around the shifter and pull it loose then there are just a few screws to remove the rest.
The hardest part is probably separating the trim from the radio controls after you remove it.
About 10 smaller screws and take your time and you'll be fine.

Here's mine after the same treatment.

Check my thread, it should help w/ that part of the trim project and there's some tips that will make it easier and hold up over time, especially those 6 little station preset buttons, lol

That's odd. My 6K V3 Triton Switchbacks match my 5K bulbs almost perfectly.


I'm curious to see what yours look like with the dimmer lead attached... I'm thinking of attaching the dimmer on mine as well.

Looks 100% better than with the red lugs, DFS!

All I have is my iPhone. I will post some pics by the weekend. My sister in law has a real nice camera. It's not off by much tho but it's noticeable to me.

Welp, this is what I did to my G37 today... $3,000 payment. Bought the car 11 months ago for $21,000 and i now owe a little over $5,000.

Looking to have her paid off before I return from my deployment. Once it's paid off, I can get more in-depth with my modifications. It's a good feeling, especially since I'm only 21.

You really seem to have your priorities straight Zahy, nice progress on that note. And along the way you've put together one fine sedan!

For a 21 year old? Yep. Absolutely.

But you don't know the interest rate on that car loan. It could be a 1% fire sale at his local credit union... or it could be a 10% "we don't turn down anybody" rate at the local car lot. Point being, you don't pay off low-interest debt if you can earn more on investment, or it impacts your quality of life. And you do whatever you can to pay off high-interest debt early.

Since Z is young and in the military, he's probably watching his savings grow without even trying... so wiping out debt is a fine goal, regardless of the details.

I actually have a 1.9℅ interest rate, financed through Ray Catena. I've been working on my credit since I was 18. I'm just not sure whether I want to re enlist or get out and go to school to purse a career in IT/Networking. It's one less thing to worry about. I focus a lot on saving, I don't even let my credit cards carry into the next month because I hate paying interest. (Never paid interest on a credit card either.) That got off-topic fast.

Sounds like you have a solid financial future ahead of you. Not to sound unpatriotic or anything, but I'd suggest getting out after your contract expires. It seems like a war could go down with mother Russia

That's just another reason for me to stay in honestly.

Where are you located? I see you do vinyl wrap.

Thankfully we have guys like you protecting the country! Btw do you know a David Gu? My buddy is a Marine (recon sniper), currently positioned at the NC base.

And I'm located in Somerset, NJ so it looks like you're a bit far for me to work on your G
