I read a comment on here yesterday where someone said "if we're not careful, all Navara's will end up looking the same"
To some extent I agree due to the lack of styling available "to buy", however this is where individual creativity comes in I guess. Only that way can one's beast stand out from the crowd. Having seen some awesome member trucks on here and reading the inspirational build stories, I am hoping to jump on the bandwagon of moddin my Nav.
Like most folk, I am frustrated at not having a couple of grand spare to do everything in one go, but one the other hand, where would the fun be in that so like most folk again, I shall be doing stuff as and when the wallet dictates.
My plans for my white 2010 D40 Auto are as follows:
Performance upgrades:
Straight through 3 inch stainless steel custom pipe with dpf removal and stage 2 remap to complement
Exterior Styling:
Stick with OEM 17inch alloys but repaint with high gloss black, with a detail of red pinstripe around the rim to separate alloy and tyre. Stick with current Maxxis Big Horns.
Paint front calipers and rear drum ferrari red caliper paint
De chrome most of the truck apart from roll bar
Remove Nissan logos back and front.
Fit black 4 piece satin billet grill supplied from the USA to front. Paint existing chrome grill shell high gloss black. Detail one of the horizontal bars of fitted grill with red pinstripe for that RR Autobiography style look. Paint high gloss black the black bits on bumper.
Colour code rear bumper by painting the chrome part and high gloss blacking the plastics.
Colour code lower front bumper bar with red detail to ends.
Paint high gloss black rear panel surrounding boot handle.
Fit black Navara stripe decals along sides at bottom of doors with red pinstripe detail above and below decals.
Two tone black and red racing stripes on bonnet, roof, tail. Still to decide whether to do top part of bumper or not.
Interior Styling:
Paint red:
the silver plastic trim parts to door panels, cup holder surrounds to centre console, silver trim to steering wheel buttons
Fit foot well red led lighting
Upgrade speakers
Fit remote start (as I'm sick of waiting half hour for it to warm up in winter)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm pretty sure that's everything I can remember.
Of course I shall post info of all the suppliers and garages that carry out work or supply goods.
Order of work to be carried out is adhoc, I know I'd like the exhaust and remap done this week but funds don't allow but I have fitted part of the racing stripes or as I prefer to call them, Muscle Truck Stripes to the bonnet which I'm please with (however the full Muscle truck effect doesn't really come through with the chrome grill, just not angry enough)
Hope you guys enjoy seeing it progress as much as I will enjoy doing it.
Thanks everyone
