    Default Color Opinion

    Okay people I know opinions are like assholes and everybody has one so here goes, I have a 98 ek 4dr that I have done the 99-00 front swap on with carbon hood jdm black headlights, mugen front lip, mugen sideskirts, and rear lip on. It also has a pretty nasty lsvtec in it. The car is currently silver from the factory, but should I repaint silver or go do a full color swap to SI blue? I know some like blue and some like silver so I am looking for best # of responses.

    Thanks,

    I'd keep it silver rather than the blue. Easier, cheaper, and i like how silver looks with black accessories (hood, lights, etc). Maybe you should get a poll up to track the opinions easier.

    I think you should paint it a completely different color, stray away from the norm. Though thats easier said than done since it is a Civic after all

    i would say silver. silver is easy to keep clean and its hard to see orange peel or runs in the paint. and does look amazing with black accents
