So the paint wasn't a exact match when I took the first photo it was at night. It matches when it's not directly in the sun light. But it seems that the sheens still a bit off I'm still looking for a color that will match if anyone has any advice feel free to help out.

you should repaint the nav bezel, insert and the radio bezel together so it matches.

Ya I was considering painting it all one color but I'd like to keep the oem color I'm just afraid if I paint it and don't like it there's no going back to that stock color. I appreciate the help still trying to find a match tried a couple different Nissan interior color matching paints but none of them worked. I might just vinyl wrap them so if I want I can go back to the factory color

So I stepped away from trying to match the paint and looked into doing something with the hole and I realized that the car doesn't have a specific spot for sunglasses so I though I'd make holder for them.

So I made a box out of wood

Mocked up some sides to cover the gaps

Cut them out of plastic

IMG_7803.jpg

Glued them in place

So now I'm gonna use some body filler to fill the gap between the plastic and wood. Smooth that out then wrap the whole price with some suede or felt.
Also gonna cut those clips that are sticking up off of the trim piece

Looks good what did you use for a screen? Is that a factory screen?

Factory screen. Factory trim. Waiting for a few pieces of abs plastic form amazon and I will have a better idea of my filler panel or blending. Just received navtool hdmi module and waiting for factory screen wiring harness plugs from Japanese eBay so I can start wiring. Will make a post once I have everything in.
