You know, Maximas would look bad azz in silver,

like all those Bimmers and Mercedes.

we got sterling mist, but that's not silver.
Like the sig of MaximaZero, a silver Max would look sweet, with tinted windows and SE tail lights.

Silver with grey(frost) lether is what i want.

Actually, they did make one or two silver cars for some reason back in the 4th generation years. Very odd.

Wasn't the silver on the early 4th gens closer to a light blue?

I don't remember, but I know that the year-by-year stats show 2 cars (that's 2 individual cars) being made with a silver color for Nissan.

I wish they had another shade just a little lighter than Sterling Mist. That's the color I'm going to get if they don't make a lighter one anyway, but my sentiments exactly.

Not much here. Just trying to help out with Maxus stuff. I have been calling around for hotels today. My car is actually in the shop getting some tuning.

sterling mist is definitely not a pure silver. it looks almost this sandy or bronzish color when there's a lotta sun... kinda irritating. i bought my car in the evening when it looks like dark silver. had i known that the color looks like *** in the daylight, i wouldve gotten white or grey lustre.

Yeah, the sterling mist is a moody color. LOL. I really wanted silver and this was the closest thing to it. Dzamn, I wish I could have gotten my car in the BMW or Audi silver. It does get complements though, which is always nice.

I saw a 4th Gen in silver once, but I forget where (Somewhere in NorCal though). . . I just thought it was a custom paint job, but it could have been from factory if what Jamie said was true. . . Looked good though.
