What color to paint my FD?
Well My car is back together, The shop jsut needs to grind down the welds and repaint it. The shop said since they have to repaint most of the car anyway; I can change the color if I want. So, what color should I paint my car if I decide to change the color?
Its currently Black (well most of it is lol). They can paint everything for me except the engine bay, so I'll want to stick with a darker color so it won't look odd when I open the hood.
Thanks for any suggestions people.

If not, I would keep it the same color. I'm betting they aren't planning on tearing the car down to do it right.

i think if it's a dark enough color it won't be that bad not painting the engine bay. i remember seeing a silver one with a red engine bay on the forum a while back 
it was crazy modded though

That's just me though... When I repaint mine, it will still be red.

If i was getting it done, I would go with the Spirit R silver, yellow or a dark blue. but since your not getting the engine bay painted, hell just stay black.
or you could go black with a blue pearl coat. that would look snazy

the Flamenco Black Pearl from the 99 Si's is a very nice black... and in the sun it really sparkles and looks "sharp" (best word to describe it)... the BMW black (forget the real name) is very nice as well, but for some reason looks worse when it's dirty...
