2009 ST-L Build Thread

Almost a month ago I decided to treat myself to an early 30th birthday present.

Here's what I picked up. It's a 2009 ST-L 4.8 with low K's and full Nissan book. Looks like it's never been off a sealed road in it's life and is basically spotless inside and out. Perfect platform to build myself a tourer/tow rig for the new camper. Here's how it sat the first night I had it.

About 3 weeks later and now this is how it currently sits.

Cheers mate. That's the good thing about money, you can always earn more! On a serious note, it was a decent hit to the old wallet. Good thing I have an understanding wife.... Although what I paid for most of the parts isn't exactly what I told her. I'd be the same thing with her "It was only $100" routine she tells me everytime a new pair of shoes or handbag turns up.

Here is the indash entertainment unit I fitted. The screen is motorized and can be adjusted and set for easier viewing.

Looks alright, just can't get the name of the make/model of the unit.
Good idea about changing the angle of the screen.

It's just a generic ebay unit. The plug on the back was Phillips though.

Nice setup mate.
How do you find the new hybrid front arms?
