Default Gettin the car painted

Hey I was just wondering what color you guys think i should get my civic painted. I dont want any ordinary color like white or black, but i dont want something way too tacky like bright orange or hot pink. I was thinking maybe like a mix of Civic Blue and Intense Blue Pearl. Also, I was wondering what good body kits/bumpers would look good with the color im gona get. I dont want anything too flashy, but i want it to look good; I just posted about gettin a '99 Si bumper because I like the way that looks, but I guess thats not gona work. Thanks.

:edit:
Oh yeah forgot to tell you. Its a '97 Civic EX

I've always been a fan of the blue that the 99-00 Civic Si came in. :dunno:

What color is the car now? That can sometimes help determine as well. If you have a black car, it would be hard to hide all of the black if you were to paint it white for instance.

NSX Blue is nice, The Red that the infiniti G35 coupe comes in is nice as well. If you want a car that looks mean, those gun-metal like greys look bad@ss with a proper set of gunmetal or black rims and some blacked out headlights, and eyelids.

i really like the dark blue metallic of newer beetles. doesn't look like much until the sun hits it just so, and then it looks fabulous.

blue electron pearl.


If you wanted to stay with white (which would most likely be a less expensive and trouble free color change) there are quite a few cool colors to go with...


Such as grand prix white, off the NSX's

If you were to change colors... go with a blue... preferably the blue the civic came with, which was what alpha said, blue electron perl... but if not, it should be at least another shade of blue.

As for body kit, though I don't prefer them, I think hte R34 looks the best. Buddy Club is over rated, though the Buddy Club 2 looks pretty nice. It has a somewhat stock feel to it.
