It's YOUR car, so why ask US what color?

Anyways, I love my Vogue Silver hatchback, and I wasn't the first, nor will I be the last to paint a 1992-1995 hatch this color.

About that Green from the Benen car:

If you painted your car that color then you would never hear the end of it. People would call you the ultimate biter and you would probably end up hating it in the end.

...But in the end it's YOUR car so do what you like.

Make sure you leave a small patch in the engine bay behind the intake manifold the factory color

Seriously, just get what you want. I think s2k silver would be coo.

My hatch is white so if I paint it, it will be CW. If I get enough $$ for a color change, I would change to the forest green for the BMW X5, it's black from far.

The dark green off of the CRV is very similar to the Sierra Pine that was used on the Benen EG. That way if someone calls you a biter you can tell them this is OEM from the CRV and the other is not. Either way paint it what you want.

I had my EG hatch painted S2000 well over a year ago... was one of the first and remember posting some picts of it online. Oh man, did everyone and their mother now get that paint job. So I'm getting the car repainted this summer... different color, yet unique in its own way, and I like it (still a dark metallic color).

BTW, my hatch looked very nice with my SW388 wheels on it..... until the Slipstreams came out 5 months later, then everyone started to look like me

Like B18C said... it's your car, get what you like. I still like my car and how it looks, but it's my decision to change it to a different color for myself, not to impress others.

hey i got a idea to start a new trend, i am not being a *** to anyone just it would be funny, here goes, get your car all fixed up and primierd black, then drive around for a day and when people ask why your car is primer tell them its not its the "new carbon smoke paint its jdm" , then see how many people do it

b20Z, there are so many different shades to one color. if you like silver, i can tell you now there are like 15-20 different looking silver. It's about what YOU want, figure out the main color, then work off the shading. you prefer dark or light cars?? these are just my opinions. check out MOBWORKS.com peace
