I would recommend going to a shop and looking at all the color choises available. You may find yourself wanting a totally different color. The yellow is a nice choice though.

I also got the 03 cavalier yellow. its not as bright so that when the sun beams down, it wont make your bright yellow look almost White.... let me know if you need the codes.

don't go yellow. not enough cars around are yellow and chances are if you speed you'll get caught.... unless you're in new york with them taxi's.... oh god, the walking orange bubble guy in madlow's sig is cracking me up

My friend and i have painted some, we got a gun from walmart, painted a eclipse body kit,mirrors, and door handles.. A mugen front bumper on a crx. And workin on a civic hatch right now... If ya paint alot.. good... all ive learned is its hard to paint with lots of metallic in the paint.. and it shows any kind of scrachs... And its alot more expensive, my friends eclipse was silver, a quart of paint was like 28 bucks... and my friends crx is black, his quart was 13 bucks... hardly any metallic... As for color, if ya think u can handle a really metallic paint go for it, i love a red metallic car or dark silver... dodge's new ram is graphic silver... i think that color would look bad on any car. You could prolly paint ur car for about 300 yourself. Thats how much this hatch is gunna cost us...
