Man! its good to be back! Im getting another Max...I had a white 96 SE with grey interior. Im looking online for one with grey interior and they are alllll tan. Was this an SE thing? an option? or just really rare or what?

 

i got tan and i like it, most people prefer the darker. It makes them feel better

 

on the tan, hard to keep clean though.

 

I hate my tan with my poop brown dash.
I wish I had the time to swap out my black interior from my wrecked max before I sold it.

 

no u can find em in black u just have to realllllllllllly look

 

i wish my tan max had black interior. i wonder how hard it would be to change the dash out

 

Leather came in 3 colors, tan, gray and black. The gray was only available with Sage Mist I beleive.

 

I have tan leather and hate it. I actually bought everything needed to convert to black, just need the time to actually do it.

 

I have tan leather also and it is hard as hell to keep clean it looks good but everything that gets on it stands out.I really like the black leather in the black maxima's.It looks great I wish I had one

 

I had a second gen white SE with BLUE interior.
Although I drove that car for 300K (trouble-free) miles, I hated it every day.
(I had no choice, I bought it used)

So, my fourth gen beige interior looks good to me incomparison.

It is not leather. IMHO leather is the worst possible material outside of sheet metal.
Cold in the winter, hot in the summer.
I went through several sheetskin seat covers back then....
:-)

 

BTW, for a while, I had a BMW with black leather interior, and my wife had the same car with a beige leather interior.

There was a *considerable* difference in interior temperature in the summer.
But in winter there did not seem to be any difference.
I learned where the shady parking spots were in a hurry!

 

i have tan and i don't mind it. i am puttin on tan leather OEM covers this spring, so we'll see how that goes.

 

im workin on converting over from cloth to leather. I like the tan. just put in I30 rears. now just need to get fronts.

 

This is so very true....but for some reason I will never give it up. Even after the numerous times i burned my rear gettin in the car, its still my favorite.

 

someone on here painted their dash. initally i thought that was tacky, it came out really well, and i was very suprised. i cannot do a search, but im sure someone here could pull it up. i have charcoal leather, i love it

 

anyone ever seen the green leather that came on some gle's?

 

global threat had green leather. w heated seats very nice,

 

i like my tan, black gets SUPER hot in summer...

 

My Sage Mist had gray leather which was alright, but I much prefer the black/charcoal sport cloth on my current Max. I prefer the cloth over leather because it doesn't get so hot/cold depending on the weather...I do wish it looked a little more luxurious though.

 

Black leather interior or nothing at all IMO.

 

^^^ ditto

The tan wouldn't be so bad if it was all the same shade. It looks alot more dated as well whereas black looks new (when kept up).

 

i got sage and i really like the gray interior, it flows nicely. Black interior heats up a lil too quick.....but at the same time, mine does too!

 

Someone was selling mint gey leather seats For 200 bucks just a little while ago, probably gone now.

 

for exterior, i have midnight blue...which is semi-rare. for interior, i have all black. recently i just got leather seats...everything looks very clean all together.

 

Mine has black interior and DArk purple/gray seats. Wish the seats are black leather tho

 

The tan leather interior sucks mainly because of the poop-brown "accents" throughout and the black steering wheel and instrument faces. I'm sorry, but black clashes BIG TIME with brown. That's why black leather 4th gens are 1,000,000 times better than tan leather 4th gens. Look at a BMW with tan leather--it looks classy because everything MATCHES.

And no, black leather is not uncomfortable. In the winter I'm wearing long sleeves and pants so it makes no difference. In the summer I have 20% tint and a windshield reflector thingy so it doesn't get hot. And leather wouldn't burn you even if it had been in the sun but metal (e.g. seatbelt buckles) sure will. The only problem I see with leather is its lower friction, which means on those hard turns there is more potential to slide in your seat than with cloth.

Another benefit of leather is it doesn't create static electricity when you slide across it. With cloth seats if you rotate your @$$ a bit getting out of the car, the car will shock you. Spills are usually easy to clean up on leather, whereas spills soak right into cloth. Black leather doesn't show much at all so you can get away without cleaning it.

I spent months looking for a 5-speed, black on black 4th-gen Maxima, and I finally found one three hours away and snatched it up. Well worth the search and the drive.



BLACK LEATHER PWNS U

 

damn i wish i had leather seats, but i have the next best thing, black dash imo

 

I'd take charcoal cloth over tan leather, no question.

 

I had a 98 SE with the charcoal interior and loved it (until that F-150 put an end to her life), now i have a 97 Se with Tan (beige to be exact). The charcoal is offered, just rare.
