Just picked up my Jade Green 98 Maxima SE 5-speed. I don’t have the title yet, but it’s sitting in my driveway, to bad I can’t drive it :crying:. I wanted black, but I like the Jade green almost as much. I am not thrilled with the beige interior, but the important thing is it’s a 5-speed . This is the first car I have bought for anything other than basic transportation, somehow I think I will learn to like it better than my 93 Ford Escort

I want to thank all the members here for helping me decide on a Maxima, hopefully I will be able to contribute once I learn a little more about the car.

I plan only the most basic mods for now, painted calipers, SS brake lines, FSTB, RSB, Clear corners, gutter mesh grill and I will probably try to clear my own tails. $200 seems a bit steep and if I screw up mine I can always order some. I think the stock 16” SE rims look pretty good, and with the FSTB and RSB the stock SE suspension should be enough for me. But at some point 17 inch rims and a small drop will be nice. I might go with a Y pipe, but I am not ready to mess with the intake (Yet).

And now I have a couple of questions, I put the links to the below –

What color brake calipers will look good on a jade green Max? I posted this Yesterday, I am leaning towards dark Red, as long as it will look good with the Green.

Can I add a heated Seat and how much will it cost me?

Can I make my Beige interior look racey? I was hoping for a gray or black interior that I could dress up a little with aluminum pedals and shift ****, and maybe a few other details. Will this look stupid with the beige interior? Anything I can do?

Congrats on your new purchase...let the modding begin

 

Congrats on your purchase of a 5-speed Maxima!

 

5 speeds are nice

 

Have fun with the car - you have bought the ultimate ride. Power, comfort, luxury, and affordable. You can't beat that. The mods you are looking at sound good (I can tell you've researched ). For the calipers I would go silver (looks awesome) or yellow. Red might looks a little too Christmasy (is that a word?). Have fun and enjoy the speed!
