Default Civic Sedan Repaint suggestions, lemme know!

My car got hit in the back by a ******* nissan yesterday. These are pics of her before tha accident. I will more than likely be getting a whole respray. My current thought is a dark metallic midnight blue with a heavy clearcoat, so as to shine more of a blue during the bright sun.
I love the silver as it is blue on a sunny day, grey at night, yellow at sunset, and a silvery/snowy color when it rains, but a silver 4 door civic LX is for chicks.













Comments, suggestions, or thoughts? The motor is the stock y7, and planning on boosting about 8psi in a few months, as its the cheapest way to get 200whp, and i like the consistent 34mpg.

paint it the midnight blue metallic (paint match moldings, handles etc...), get some smaller rims,spoon style mirrors and a front lip, lose the chrome license plate frame and fog lights, drop it, and shave the rear honda badge.

at least thats what Id do

actually I find the 99-00 front end on a silver sedan to be worse. But if it was in the front, id get the 99-00 front end from the Si coupe, cause thats the only decent lip out there, better than any aftermarket or JDM one ive seen yet.
and yea, ima shave the rear badge, I will drop the chrome plate holder when she's another color besides silver. THose rims are only 16s but look a lot bigger. love them tho, but thanks for the advice.
