Hello everyone!! I just joined the nico club. I am going to get a new 2009 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5 fully loaded in April (my birthday). I have been looking at all the nice coupes on here to get an ideal of what I want as far as color, but they all look really nice.

I have narrowed it down to black on black, red on blonde or white or blonde. Any comments or suggestions?

black looks bad*** when it is cleaned. Very hard to maintain and keep clean.

But I will pick black any day. black for the win!

Welcome to NICO!!

As previously stated, black on black (which I have) looks extremely nice when it is clean. A lot of work to keep it clean, but definetly worth it.

I also hate blonde interior, it just bugs me. I didnt know that you could get a white coupe with black interior all of the white coupes i have seen have had blonde interior.

RED ON BLONDE IS NICE. you will get alot of positive feedback. its like a elite color, besides black n white..(but anything black or white can look nice) red or white. cause black isnt for EVERYONE. lol think about what kinda roads you will be on.. or your city. . red isnt a hassle, and not alot of people have them. I didnt get mine to say 'look at me' cause im a very private person, lol but just cause i feel in love with teh red, and white.. didnt see many blacks.. they didnt catch my eye..

^^ I'm only in partial agreement w/mcheddadi.......

I think the red & blond combo is absolutely horrid. The blue coupes are the only ones that look good with blond!

...but a 6MT is definitely a must!

My bias is obviously black on black (if you don't mind cleaning it every other day...California Duster FTMFW!!!), but my second option would be white. BTW, I didn't think they made a white coupe with a blond interior...maybe it's just a Canadian thing though!

...or you could go the custom route. Pink, sir. Pink.

Well, I dont know what the official statistics are, but I have a White coupe and it seems like at least 50% of all other coupes I see are white, so if you dont want a car the is very common, dont get white.

Psh, if you knew what was good for your car you would get Precision Grey - the car always looks clean, and super clean when you wax it. Turns more heads than the silly black on blackers...

Mos Def. I'm biased also but I had to do it all over again I would do Red w/ Black interior.

Then again I have a sedan and I like that Red/Burgundy over the fire red of the coupes.

Welcome, Gia.

Of course nobody here but you can make this decision, but of your choices, I like black on black, followed by red/blonde.

Originally I wanted black on black for my coupe, but when I made it to the dealership and looked around the inventory, I decided on the Dark Slate since I thought it was just as sexy and would be easier to keep clean.

If you've just been looking at pictures on the web, I would recommend getting down to the dealership yourself and looking around, as that is what helped me make my mind up. Just be sure to ignore those 370Zs sitting around

Out of those choices I would get black on black, just cause I don't like blonde interior. Black interior is much sportier. White with black interior though, that's where it's at...
