Same silver color with the 96 front end on it. Changing colors in a car is a bad idea imho. It's going to cost a grip to get it colorchanged properly.

If I were you, I'd leave it silver...and use the money you were using for the color change toward the swap

the bottom end from a and the vtec head off a killer combo

Personally I wouldn't go through with a color change, but if you're bent on it, I'd go white.

true. I remember when I wanted to get my Altima painted with a color change, to get it done to factory level quality was 3600. I am sure I could have shopped around and got a better deal but to me I would only get my color changed after I was "done" (most peopel are never really 100% done LOL) with my engine/suspension,etc.
