It's kind of up to you since it's your car. You should get a color you like since you have to drive it everyday, not us.

I've always wanted a charcoal/metallic gray.

Whats more common in your area? (if that's even a real question in cali).
I've had a few colors picked-out for a while.... but then I'll always see some one else w/ it in my area. Its so hard to be different w/ a 13 year old car.

I've always been a fan of dark or hunter green.

HOW TO: Pick the color of your car.

step 1: determine favorite color.

step 2: use imagination to visualize your car that color.

step 3: after determining that your favorite color would look great on said car, call paint store and have them mix it.

step 4: paint car.

If you want silver with a little something extra, get silver and tell them to add ______________ color pearl. Simple as that. I think Silver with a black pearl would look really interesting, but it's not my car.

step 5: go back to step 3 and make sure you didn't decide to copy a custom color

I had a buddy take his pink "security blanky" from when he was 5 years old into a paint shop.
They did they're best to match it... his previously bad-*** integra is now pink So don't get too carried away w/ the colors please.

Why? Because now his Integra isn't as "JDM" as it could be? It means more to the driver as it sits now, and that's all that should ever matter.

expletive hard parking ******s who care about nothing but conforming to the next trend. If you want to paint your car like your baby blanket or like your dead sister's ashes or like the best **** you ever shat, so be it. Modifying your car should never be about pleasing anyone other than yourself.
