Re: Want LE but don't want wood grain trim... [kjsmitty] by mandymusika

ok, so chatted with a local dealer yesterday about the wood grain trim. They offered the metalic kit to convert the wood grain to the metalic version of the SL. How bad is the scratching on the metalic? Everyone is complaining, but it is really bad?
 
Another reponse from the local deal was to "wood grain taken out and painted in the carbon silver of the exterior. They take the inserts out, prime, paint and then clear coat them. We have done this before and it turns out really nice and fits the interior perfectly."
 
What are your thoughts on this? Do you think it'd look good? I wonder if the metalic would look better? This option might not scratch as easily though...
 
Thoughts would be appreciated! thanks

If you feel comfortable in removing the trim and repainting that would be my recomendation. First you can easily touch up any future scratches,second it will be custom and unique and third it should be the cheapest alternative.

Hey medtech, I am sorta in the same situation as you are. I am close to deciding on my next vehicle but I still have 2 months left on my RX350 lease. The Murano LE is near the top of my list so I decided to kill a lunch hour by checking the web site of every Nissan dealer within about 75 miles (I live in the Wash. DC / Baltimore area). I checked 19 dealer sites and found a total of 123 Murano LEs showing in stock. I agree with you that these sites are not always up to date, but there definitely was a reasonable selection of colors and options available - at least in this area.

Thanks for the response Jayrider.
 
The dealer would be the one removing the plates and painting them. So I have no doubt it would be done well. I'm just trying to picture it lol. If I chose the carbon grey murano, he suggested getting that color for the interior pieces as well. I would think with the clear coat it would be less likely to scratch too, rather than the metalic trim kit from the SL. The trim kit they quoted me $300-$400 CAD. Not sure how much painting it would cost.

Take it to an auto body shop -- they do stuff like that for less. Get bid.

New LE's by loach

One of my co-workers and her husband just swapped their two 2003 Muranos for a pair of 2009 LE's yesterday. She got Merlot and I think he went with Bronze. The Merlot looks fabulous - I'm a little jealous as I probably won't be in the market until summer 2010.

Ipod Integration Kit for 2009 Nissan Murano SL? by kweberg

Hello!
 
I read in one of the threads at this forum that someone was getting an Ipod Integration Kit for their Murano SL? Did anyone ever post what the part number is or where it can be purchased from?
 
I just got my new 2009 Nissan Murano SL AWD last week with the representation from the salesman that I would be able to connect my Ipod (as well as my vehicle was supposed to have a 6-CD Changer). Well, no 6-CD Changer was in the car because they gave me a vehicle with Navigation (which I did not want). Anyway, I could not locate an Ipod auxiliary input, and was now told that what I have is a Compact Flash Drive. And, my husband was nice enough to get me an Ipod Classic for the purpose of using it in my new vehicle. So, just curious if someone could tell me how to get the Ipod working for the Murano SL? Thanks a bunch!

First Impression by ukko

We picked up our Murano recently and were surprised at the refined design and ride. From the test drive to now owning the vehicle my impressions are much more impressed. The ride is taunt but smooth. We have the TL in graphite and black leather seats. I noticed, on a sunny day, during a test drive of another TL, with a tan interior, the bright reflections were distracting. The black interior seems to allow the exterior environment to appear more focused and clear. Our previous vehicle was a 2006 Honda Pilot. The graph on the backup camera screen allows one to judge distance to less than a foot. Compared to the Pilot, the Murano is in a different class except for storage space. We have most of the packages except for navigation so the vehicle is really comfortable in all ways.

Welcome to the Murano family. The wife and I joined the Murano family a year ago in April when we purchased our 2009 Murano SL (AWD) brillant silver with black interior with leather front heated seats, dual moon roofs, hands free blue tooth, and navigation system. Like you mentioned the handleing is fantastic and with the AWD it handles great in the snow. The ride is also fantastic so smooth and you never feel it shift with the new cvt transmission. The more you drive it the more you Love it !!!!!!
        Enjoy

Grille Problem by ggottberg
Apr 26, 2009 (5:39 am)

Just traded off my 2004 Murano for a 2009. Before I traded in my 2004, the grille started to bubble. The 2004 was way out of warranty, but I thought I would give Nissan a call at 1-800-647-7261 to ask what they would do if any thing about this problem. To make a long story short, the grille was replaced 3 months ago, Nissan replaced the grille at no charge to me, without any problems.
