Need help with exterior choices.......
Need help with exterior choices.......
I have a '92 SE that I am going through and need some help. For simplicity I was going to re-paint the car whiteso I wouldn't have to pay the extra to do the jams and other areas that would look stupid with a different color. When I shared this idea with the family they said go big or not at all so now I want to explore all my options. I will also be pulling out that horizontal trim on the doors as well as adding a Stillen kit unless someone knows of a better kit.
I wanted to open it up to all generations as I have spent countless hours looking through threads for color/rim combinations and am now frustrated.
Please post your ideas for color/rim combos, pics don't have to be 3rd gen - or even a Maxima I guess so long as you get your point across for the combo.
Also looking for ideas on spoilers/wings as well. Doesn't appear there are many or any CF hoods/trunk lids on the market so I want to make this as sharp as I can with paint.
All comments are appreciated.

Don't know how that would be considered being a d**k, I did ask for opinions - but if you were looking to be helpful, any ideas on rims would be appreciated as well. I am not looking to create another disaster of a thread, I want to take action from what I see here.
Love these rims and this kit. The color is different but i like it. With the kit it reminds me off the older late 80's mustang 4.0. That front bumper is crazzzyyy!

IMO gold rims would go good with white. Skylines, Subies, 240z and Silvia/240sx pull off the white paint/gold rim combo the best but a white 3rd gen would look good too
something like this

and IMO with regards to the wing, 3rd gens look clean without a wing

I bet it would look sweet if you paint a black/white combo. That way you dont have to do inside doors, hood etc but can still change it up a bit. Black rims would be nice. Dont rice it out with a body kit, stick with stillen kit for sure. As for the spoiler, find a nice oem one, maybe the 5th gen style because its small.... keep it clean

Thinking that the kit on the green one is too over the top for me. Kids still think I need color but am thinking Pearl White with the Gold tint like I have seen on some Escalades.
What does everyone think of the burnt titanium look?
Here are a few wheels I have found that I like, the titanium might be too flashy for me but I kind of like it.

Is the car bone white now? If so, maybe if you slip into pearl-white? It was an OEM color for that year. And you could avoid painting under the hood, trunk and doors.
Had a 99 SE once in metallic pearl white... gorgeous color.

Of the rims you posted, I'd go with something like this

You can go with a gold/bronze finish if you get the rims powdercoated. The titanium look, IMO looks pretty cool but with the rims you posted I think there's too much going on (black finish/titanium & gold finish/titanium = overdone)
Make sure the offset of the wheel is correct so the wheels are flush with the fenders
