Just tossing my idea to the org for opinions...
Alright, I just bought my second 3rd gen three days ago, so now i have a 92 Black SE 5spd with a VE30DE engine, all leather, and a 91 White GXE automatic with a VG30 engine, all cloth......
(thanks Jeff for correcting me on the VG30DE issue)
Try to follow me here.....My idea is to take the black 5spd and convert it to cloth, for a more sporty feel, and follow a Black/Red color scheme.....in and out. Upgrading multiple Performance parts....Port & Polish, Bore over (kinda odd i know) entire exhaust, intake, brakes, steering, etc., etc.. also gonna "pimp out" the interior and exterior to the max (no pun intended.)
Now, here's where my idea comes into play... With my White Auto, im gonna convert the interior to leather, for a more luxurious feel, and follow a White/Yellow color scheme...to offset the Black/Red. Now, whatever i do to the black one, in terms of using the color red....I'm going to do to the white one, only with yellow. Let's say IF (HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING) I put red flames on the black one, i would put yellow flames on the white one....now remember i said hypothetically speaking. flames = nogo....but yeah, you get the picture??? having twins...that are opposite...its oxymoronical bliss!
any ideas/thoughts/comments on this topic?
and by the way...i think the reason i posted this topic in the first place, was to let everyone know i got max #2 :attention

Jeff....well, i prefer the VE, so i know nothing about the VG...sorry
And for the color schemes, i think it will be an attention grabber to have the same..opposite..thing going on. and BTW, it was just an idea. I actually saw a white car with white/yellow interior, and for the luxury aspect, it was pretty nice IMHO.
Danny....lol no pimp my ride in iraq, sorry! But i do have ALOT of time to think about my cars....and other manly stuff ;X

i'm going to echo what jeff said...i mean it's your car. if you want to put a 20ft wing on the trunk and paint it pink..that's your call. do what you like to it...but some may not have the same style as you.

Like Danny and Jeff said, it's your car and you do what you want to it. If you want to make a "his and hers" set of Maximas for yourself, go right ahead.
You should probably take a few minutes to write down on a notepad how much all of this is going to cost you. The stuff you said you wanted to do isn't going to come cheap unless you work at a machine shop or garage.
Otherwise, have fun and post pics of your results so you can either be congratulated or made fun of.

anyways, yeah, its kinda like a "his and hers" because my fiance wants to 'pimp' one of them if i go to car shows with them in the future, I told her if she wants to, she will be working on the white one with me, from mod #1 to mod #234234.
It's more for ME though, a luxury max, and a sporty max. Hell i'll probably end up painting both black, and following the same interior ideas, but with the same color scheme (black/red) but the COLORS are still up in the air...Black/Red is permanent, but the mirror image white and yellow, undecided
BTW, the cost issue, im not talking about doing all this at once...just slowly over the period of abotu a year max. So far with my black one, ive purchased cross driled + slotted rotors, racing seats, heads, polished valve covers, Intrax springs, Tokico struts, Chrome grille, and a few other mods....Buying the stillen kit and Finn Racing F108 18 x 7.5 rims in the next month....full exhaust and intake the next month...pretty pricey, but i put pride in my cars
btw, if i can figure out how to post a pic on here in a minute, ill put one of my black SE up in a minute or two

May I ask why you need 3 3rd gen. Maximas? If I were you, i'd make ONE cool Maxima out of the 3 that you have; sell the others and buy a 4th Gen. Maxima. That way you'll have 2 Fast and VERY cool Maximas!!!

Opt for Afghan next time... we have AFN out here.
I'd say keep the opposite colors. My advice... forget the Hondas. They pull up all the time and try racing me... get tired of them after a while. Like swatting at nats. Due it for the pure love of the Maxima.
And I agree on the body style of the 3rd... that's why I bought mine. 4th gen...
