Engine Bay Color Differs from Exterior Color.
Engine Bay Color Differs from Exterior Color.
My friend just bought a 1996 Nissan Maxima SE. He has the white gauges and leather seats. This is what I noticed being a little weird. The color of his engine bay is black and the color of the car is dark blue. Is this right or was the car painted? I have a friend with a 1997 Nissan Maxima GXE and the engine bay and exterior are the same. Maybe it's something Nissan did before the 97-99 models. I dunno or maybe the car was re-painted!!!!! Any help on this matter is greatly appreciated.

Some places that you purchase from have a money back guarantee with a limited time option

You can also look out for the VIN number, it's on all panels (front fenders, hood, doors, trunk, rear quarter panels)
If VIN #s are missing, you could be looking at a car that had been worked on.
Did your fried run a Carfax?

me too
I have a blue 95 GLE and my engine bay is also black. And I know for a fact that the car wasn't painted. I guess it has something to do with the 95-96 or the color...or the class maybe?

i think it is the 95-96 max's and the early edition 97's....i got my car in 96 as an early edition 97, because i have seen other 4th gens, and their strut mounts are the color of their car, atleast on most i have seen anyways
