My New Civic

So my '95 Red and Black 2 Dr Coupe was a write-off after the drunk driver and now I have to start all over again with another Civic.

I bought myself a '01 4 Dr Silver LX-G Civic and I've got pics of it at my garage attached here.

I'm looking for opinions about where to go with this one. I'm probably going to stick with the original silver or go dual colour and the original silver will be the base colour. But then what other colour would I go with for a secondary.

BTW. The spoiler from my old civic is going to be attached soon.

For now I'm just collecting ideas and in the summer I'll see where to go with it.

Leave it stock. My wife's making fun of my 02 Si calling it KITT.

how about silver and black, the middle of the hood (start from the grill and flowing back along the lines to the outter edges of the windshield) black, then the roof painted black, and black trunk with maybe a black spoiler, rest of the car silver

I wouldn't put hid's in the car, unless your going to do a retro fit. I've seen many pics of 01-03's with the stock headlight housing, and glare is a huge issue with those headlights. If you had an 04-05, the glare is very minimal in the stock housing.

I would leave the paint the way it is.

That white Civic don't look too bad but IMO, I'd get rid of those stupid Walmart rain deflectors though. FUGLY!
