Did any white 5.5's ever come with black leather interior?
 
I've been looking for a couple months and every white 5.5gen I've come across has the beige interior.

Was black leather an option for white Maximas?

Yes. Black leather interior was an option for white maximas.

And where do you usually leave it parked?

..I'm gonna need specific directions. An address, maybe? :nervous:

i have personally never seen a 5th gen pearl white with black leather, but thats not to say it didn't come with it. Definitely a nice combo IMO.

There are a few. I have one myself, and I even have heated seats, too. I've only seen a couple of 5th gens with black interior. I almost bought a blue 5.5 gen with black leather after my GTP was totaled.

I don't have many interior pics of my car, but here's one I took after I removed my worn shift knob and replaced it with a Blox 490.

I'd so be down for one of those knobs if the shift boot would meet up with the base of it. Wonder how it would look on a 6-speed with the reverse pull tab thing.

Looking at an 03 and 01 brochure right now, the 5th gen Icelandic Pearl was offered with Black Leather on the GLE and SE.....the 5.5 gen was not. The 5.5 Gen in Glacier Pearl was only offered in Blond Leather and Frost leather.....with Frost being available on the SE only and Blond on the GLE only.

Came in here to say this. No 5.5 gen came white with black interior.

Correct, that is what I stated taken directly from the 03 brochure :)

Good question. The look of the shifter rod doesn't bother me. The stock shift knob is only threaded at the top part and the rest just covers the rod to the boot. If you look closely at the pic, I had the riser nut that came with the Blox shift knob installed. I didn't like how it looked, so I removed it and it lowered the shift knob down quite a bit.

Only 2 colors it wasn't offered on in 03 was Glacier Pearl (QX1) and Sunlit Sand (EV0).

Thats a good ? as that was a very popular combo on the Max in prior years, it disappeared from 02 to 08 on Pearl White Maxima's. Only to reappear in 09 in the Pearl White again, I sure would have gotten in 03 if it was offered when I got it!

My 5th gen has black leather interior, its gray lustre exterior though not white.
