thinking about going with lexus silver... but i think it looks kinda bad-*** w/ the black emerald that it is now... but i have never seen one in a tru silver so i think it will look hot. what does everone else think. i want it to look clean and be a color that the Max was not available as in 1995, like silver, electric blue (ricey, i think), or kameleon (?spelling?). i lean towards silver.

My 99' is Sterling Mist. It is a cool silver, but the Lexus metallic silver would look even better.

F&F blue is basically the color blue i was pondering. The only reason i am torn from that is people would be like "you are just trying to be like the one in that movie" and i dont want to deal with that. but whateaver. i am kind of happy people like the silver... thats what i was leaning towards anyway

go with silver if thats what you want, but if you like the blue and arent picking it for the reason you stated above then thats weak. that color looks so damn nice. i would go to a meet if i knew a max with that color would be there. if some ignorant ppl say what you think they might you should pay no mind. its your car, do what you freakin want. take care and good luck. btw, how much is it gona cost you?

Silver, no such thing as a silver maxima. Blue is like too wild, flashy, ricey.

Silver is clean!!!

Silver will hide scratches and other marks better in the long run.

Race Yellow would look tight, a good race yellow though, like the one on the Nissan Frontier

Chameleon would look great if you were interested in being a serious show car, but if you like blue like i do the color i would go for that no one has mentioned is the blue from the 97-98 mercedes slk, now thats a cool color, my dream is mixing that blue and the mbz silver in a two tone wild paint job with crazy lines of silver running all over the blue car

Actually, I read somewhere that the F&F Maxima IS Dodge Viper blue to match the front opening hood. But it is a nice looking color, even though I wouldn't do it to my Maxima (give me black any day)
