Hi, I'm new here. 23, F, east coast.

I fell in love with the recently redesigned 2016 Maxima which inspired my need for a new car, lol, though that one was out of my budget. I was previously driving a 2009 Civic EX-L, and I just traded that in this weekend and purchased a certified 2013 Altima 3.5 SL. It's pearl white with a charcoal leather interior and just beauuuutiful with all it's features. The V6 is my favorite part. :naughty:

I'm not too sure what I want to do to it yet. Definitely getting some darker tints. I love the idea of a black roof, black spoiler, and black detailing on the front & back. I was thinking about dipping the wheels in Vintage Gold but the chrome door handles would definitely clash. I'm not a fan of the handles at allllll.... :frown:

Welcome to NICO. V6 Altimas are pretty much a Maxima anyways. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Nissans always do look good in white.

Nice! The 09 Civic wasn't bad either though! This is definitely a larger car.

I agree with the chrome handles clashing with the gold wheels. The chrome trim around the windows would do the same. Probably not worth it. If you go with all that black you were talking about, black wheels might work too.

Black wheels, black spoiler, black dip the grill, put a black adjustable front splitter on it. It'd look good.

You could dip the door handles as well so the wheels don't clash
