After seeing it in person, seems like the stock one flows better, but the red one looks racey.

Zeto 06-30-2010 05:08 PM

I'm tracking this down around the world lol! I have a buddy of mine who is stateside but works with companies in Japan. Let's see if I can get my hands on one.

West Covina Nissan got mine in 5 days when it was on backorder. Just got it today and installed it. I agree that its 100% better looking in person than you can tell in the pictures. Its a glossy, metallic red that just screams "push me".

bumblez 07-06-2010 05:57 PM

I ordered mine from west covania Nissan, also. I got mine today and installed.

Zeto 07-06-2010 07:52 PM

Really? Let me try right now.

TreeSemdyZee 07-06-2010 08:13 PM

Mine is still backordered. Ordered 6/28. Still waiting. :(

I just purchased mine from West Covina Nissan minutes ago. How long do you think it will be before I receive it?

'10Anamoly 07-06-2010 09:44 PM

No idea, but I'll help you install it whenever it comes in. 10-12 min job tops. :tiphat:

Trips 07-14-2010 02:21 PM

Zeto 07-14-2010 02:22 PM

Still on backorder but they said that they would recieve them by the last week of July.

Hang in there Guys :hello:

Matt 07-14-2010 09:47 PM

I ordered mine last Tuesday and got it today from Courtesy Parts. They said it was on backorder, but it shipped 2 days after the order. Installation/pics this weekend!

Zeto 07-14-2010 10:20 PM

OK! I just ordered from Courtesy Parts and from Covina. Let's see who gets it to me first! :ughdance:

Matt 07-14-2010 10:50 PM

Anyone online that's done this installation? I've finally got everything taken apart (different than the OP, to my surprise) but the OEM ignition assembly isn't pulling out of the housing. I've tried "compressing the sides", and it's not budging. If I squeeze anymore, it's gonna make like a zit and plastic pieces are gonna fly all over the place.

Anyone have trouble pulling the old ignition out?

Compress the tabs on the switch but do both of them at the same time and push towards you. in the pic you can see one of the tabs but theres another one on the opposite side.

Here's the close up of one of them.

Matt 07-14-2010 11:10 PM

Silly me, I was trying to pull backwards out of the housing instead of forward. I didn't notice that detail in the pic, but if it were a snake, It would have bitten me!

Ugh, turned a 5 min DIY to a 45 min DIY.

Looks fantastic!



I also noticed in your pics you removed the knee rests, but I didn't see it typed out anywhere. Am I missing it? Because it didn't seem possible for me to do this without taking those off, which also required taking out 2 more screws.

don't know the zip off the top of my head.

'10Anamoly 07-15-2010 06:49 AM

I also had to take the kneepads off to get this done right for my car (stick shift). There is one screw holding them down and the rest are metal snap clips. They come off pretty easily. :)

??? There are two screws holding on the kneepads. One is on dash (vertical) and one is on the center console (vertical).
