black is always a no-brainer for me. instant goodness, it's almost too easy. but looking at the first pic, i would do that, or all red with the black molding. IMO the car needs need a little contrast to give it character. personally, my crx was all red and it was ok, but i painted the center molding black again and WOW, what a difference!
so the first pic gets my vote. the new HOTNESS!!

YA GOOD CALL. Attention nerd police..... Paint it whatever the [freak] you want. All of those look good, just do what you think is best. Black is a pain the *** if you live where it rains alot. Just remember that.
