Hot Pink!!!
That may have been sarcasm, but WTH -- I would totally do that. It's a guaranteed conversation (or fight) starter.

Don't know what that color is but if you want a nice looking red go with Milano Red from a 99-00 Si Coupe.

keep it the original color, unless the car is a shell, then paint it whatever the hell you want.

I just looked up the color codes in the Factory Helms manual for a 96-00 Civic. It says that all hatchbacks were Roma Red R-97 and all coupes were Milano Red R-81 with the exception of the 99 coupe which is Roma Red R-97. Don't know if that's an error or what. I always though my coupe was Roma Red but I guess it's Milano Red. I always thought the 99-00 Si had a better looking red. I'll have to check my door jam for the color code again. So I guess it is already Milano Red.

In that case maybe Roma Red R-97?

If not then def Candy Green with Lemon Yellow accents and Hot Pink Wheels.
