Default de-ricing my car :)

okay so here's the deal. as of today i am de-ricing my car. im peeling off all of the "super cool" decals and what not. but i need a little help with some stuff. what would anyone think of what to do for a paint job once the green decal is removed from around the car. i was kinda thinking a solid one tone paint job. and should i remove my body kit and just slim the car to the ground, and remove the wing? oh well suggestions are welcome. just leave me some. oh by the way, a picture is attached of the civic in the prime of it's rice. haha.

I like the silver color you have, maybe paint the whole car that color?, and the body kit isnt bad, but itd be better if we could see some more angles (things can be different from the front). I dont much like the headlights though...

you should go with a nice champion white color with blue pearl, or a nive dark blue color, those would be my two choices to go with. but what ever you feel is best for the car, as long as your happy with it.

If that was my car i would prolly leave it just because i don't want to have to pay for to have it painted. It doesn't look that good, but i don't think its worth spending another 3k to have it professionally painted.

okay well here are some better pictures and angles of the body kit and stuff. the one side is completely done now. as far as removing the green stripe and the "civic" on the fender, so ignore the decals, but this is just for the person who asked about my kit. here you go..>>

BY THE WAY. updated pictures will be added tommorrow. it pretty much looks different.

I would keep that silver color, like everyone else said...Or maybe even a darker color, so your head/tail lights contrast. But I would also look at your rims. They look great, but they seem like they're out of proportion to the rest of the car (too small for the rest of the car?) Just my $.02!
