I like the idea of the black hood. I sometimes like where ppl have a black top. But I dont like the idea of the black hatch..hehe.

But it is your car. Good luck and whatever you choose show progess pics.

black hatch only if you have like 5% tint on the rear window. that would look good, otherwise a black hatch would look like you replaced the old one due to a wreck or something. the WHOLE thing in black would be neat though.

The championship white sounds ok, although if I went that route I would keep the car a solid color so that it looks a little cleaner.

Or you should just paint it black cherry. It's what I wanna do someday. lol

i going the white with black hood route(probably) or jsut paint the hood white as well

but i dont thing the hood roof and hatch black in a crx will look good

i think on an integra or civic hatch the top half black wiht bottom white / red will look good

just my 2 cents its ultamitly your car and your decision! good lukc with it

post pics when your done

No offense but if you dont have the funds you really dont want to do a paint job. Doing poor paint jobs just hurts you in the long run. If it was me I would just save up the money so it can be done right.
