White cars are nice, and so are black (like mine) ones... But both are a pain in the *** to keep clean! What color is your interior/seats/headliner? Are you trying to be show and turn heads, or create a sleeper that looks good but not necessarily fast?

How about the C5 corvette blue, the Metallic, high intensity blue first available when the C5 was released in '97. That is my favorite blue and would look pretty cool on a civic I think.
