It is sweet, but way played out on Civics. If you're going to repaint it, I suggest maybe going a little custom

yes i agree, every other civic i see out here or on the net is that same blue color. if youre all about standin out, get somethin that makes people go... god damn that was bright. mines a Type- R Yellow, its bright as hell, but it definitely stands out, i dont see alot of civics that color and thats what i love aboot it.

that's what i don't want...i want a cheap paint job so i can get a B18 sooner. i was actually thinking of going championship white but i don't think they look that great on EK coupes.

how is a different color going to cost more..paint is paint. find a factory car u like the color of and get the paint code in the door and then go to the paint store and get it or give the code to the person spraying it. your doing a color change the most expensive part of that is door jambs and under the hood but since your car is black u can pretty much do any color and it wouldn't look stupid with the hood black.

my buddy found a pt cruiser orange painted it that color it was crazy. usually reds costs the most in paints

i would vote for the dark grey on the newer civic 05 i love that color
