Its not as bad as Sunlit Sand... It looks like dirty a$$ Sterling Mist. But yes, a repaint may be necessary. Although I am VERY happy to get out of KH3. I freakin hated trying to keep it clean

It was an automatic, suffering paint, an undiagnosable brake problem. Did I mention it was an automatic? Ever since I drove my friends VR6 I couldnt get my mind off manual. I also learned to drive in my dads 5mt TDI Jetta, so I fed my crave

I think my car is the same color as yours....that dark green color that tries to be black?

If you want to do an aggressive look, install a lower front lip and paint it bright yellow. Paint your calipers yellow, and yellow your foglights, too. That color combo will kick a$$.

Don't go with gold anywhere...it just screams "douchebag", especially if it not well done.

Haha^ .

Yellow? Are you serious, what a horrible color scheme!

It looks nice dude! I like the green maximas, i think they look better than the hideous blue and sterling mist. And yes.. I do own a green one as well lol. I have black projector headlights, my side markers tinted body color and had my factory rims powdercoated brushed bronze. Im happy with it and think it stands out more than any other max around my way. One thing i dont like is the brown and beige interior combo. Im gunna try and find a black dash and center consol and die the top brown part of the doors so its beige and black.

Sweet man! U got pics? I also am planning on powder coating the rims some dark bronze color, but later. I'm undecided whether to leave the car green, or paint it a different color, like maybe root beer! I like the brown/beige interior, but beige/black would probably look good too.

I dont know how to post pics, but ill take a fresh pic after work and post a instagram link. The green looks good, dont repaint. Get a nice cut polish/ wax done add some accent to it ( rims, headlights etc.)

Sunlit sand does not look bad at all if modded right. And it was definitely better than green.

i agree with most the green is quite hideous lol, but the fact that it is a 5 speed makes up for it imo

ive seen a few green GLE'S and GXE'S around and i can say they are not attractive, but i like the loaded green SE'S. From the others i looked at i wouldnt have bought a different color and i looked at lots! although had i found a merlot max i would have taken that over it anyday.

Hey rock your green car! Use your money on maintainence and keeping her clean. She nice and doesn't look to be driven hard and a 5 speed can't ask for more.
