Pictures Needed, All Colors and Years of Maxima

Some of you may know of my website (if not, click my sig picture). On it I have an FAQ page, and part of that is a collection of every single color the Maxima has ever been offered in every year it's ever been produced. Unfortunately I compiled that list almost 2 years ago and it has become outdated. It's also still missing quite a few pictures for some of the colors that are hard to find.

So, I need your help. If you see a picture on the site of your color that is either missing or that you think you have a better picture of, let me know. You can post it here, PM me, link me to it, email it to me, doesn't matter. I am trying to make the chart more complete and I need the community to help me out so I can continue making it a great resource. Thanks in advance!

I just want to make a suggestion that you should consider moving to a server-side sript structure (PHP, Perl, etc...) for all those paint images, it would make your maintenance much easier than keeping/editing hundreds of .html files.

I likely will, especially having just taken a class this semester involving PHP. This site was originally constructed like 3 years ago when I didn't know nearly as much as I do now so it was the only way I knew to do it. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Post it in the 5th gen section though. Just because I already have one doesn't mean I'm not looking for better ones!

Thanks to all of you for the contributions so far. I will be adding stuff to the site finally this week.

I dont know if this would help you or not...but the technical name for the 'pearl cream' cars is "satin white pearl metallic tri-coat clear coat" (the color code is either CH3 or CH0 and thats on my 93 GXE)....expensive a** paint job if you get it done right too lol

Ok, few questions for you guys. Not sure if you'll be able to answer them, but I have conflicting reports and wanted to check with you to see if you might know:

1. Was TH1 not offered in '94? Some places claim it wasn't but that makes no sense since it was offered from '91-'93 on the 3rd gen as well as limited numbers of the '95 MY 4th gen.
2. Was TK3 not offered in '92? Again, some places say it wasn't and others say it was.

it looks like CG2 but it also looks like a high-metallic-content repaint.

I know you have a picture of one already but I figured I'd post mine up too...just because.

Mine is also the Winter Blue Metallic. (I think)

Its a GXE.I think the GXE looks much cleaner. I also like the newer (92) taillights much better.

My next venture is to get a SE VG5spd and swap the outside to the newer tails and no spoiler.
