Default What color should i paint my car? Please Help

I have a 99 Civic SI. i am planning on painting it soon. I have been looking over colors for a long time and narrowed it down to 2 colors. Charcoal Grey, or Fiji blue (like the stock si blue, even though i know its not the same name, i just forget what its called. or even arctic blue pearl )

I would be happy with either color, but what would you guys think?

here are some pics of what i woudl do with either color.

you would probably get more responses in the apperance/cosmetic forum but hey, since your here...what the hell. lol i like the hray one. it looks pretty badass. the blue just looks like any old si...nothing really special about it. sometimes thats good but the gray looks good IMO.

You should paint it EBP. That dark charcoal color really doeen't suit the Civic well. It's too dark.

Paint EBP if you want a bright car, Paint it Charcoal if you want a dark car.

Win-Win situation if you ask me.
