I also have an 00 civic si and it's black. I want to change colors eventually, and I was looking at a green that I saw today on a new Pilot suv. I'll try and find it.

here is what it looks like, but this pic doesn't do it any justice. Great color.

Changing from one stock color to another stock color that was only offered on the car you're driving seems a little wasteful to me.

I'd go with something like a cocoa brown metallic or khaki or something. It would give you a seriously unique look.

Change of color is still a change, but I agree to a degree with what your saying

i dont really have any suggestions on the paint color, but i do have a few things to say about painting it..........1. paint the engine bay and ALL of the car, (inside under the carpet and all), maytbe you can get away without this part. 2. get a GOOD brand paint. 3. get someone who knows what they are doing, not a backyard garage special. 4. be willing to get it done right, ALL dents fixed, removin seals when painting it. 5. be prepared to spend a good amount of cash on it, but dont just go by price. Ive seen a $4300.00 job that was PATHETIC, no seals removed or anyhting, no engine bay coloring. I've also seen a $1800.00 job that was the best i've ever seen and it also included fixing LOTS of rust, and gettin every dent, removing all the trim, and all the seals.......SO, dont waste your money gettin the itch to get it done fast. look around for some GOOD work, ask painters what they do to prep YOUR car,and get it done right the first time. you will not be disappointed.

Personal reasons? Tampons? Your Period comes early when you ride in black cars?

I call bullshit. Don't make excuses, man. Just ******* say "It's my car and I don't want it to be black anymore, so make a suggestion other than black of stay out of my thread."

That's all the more personal your reason needs to be
