I was thinking about going a dark grey/gunmetalish color on my 99 Si. But championship white is always a good choice!

I'd either stay black or something unique. And don't do gunmetal; I've seen entirely too many cars with that color (especially Fords).

If you do go for a full color change, you will be stripping it right?

one thing to consider. If you repaint your SI a different color, you will really lower your resell value. If you aren't concerned with that, then I said champ white or gunmetal

I would'nt repaint it at all. Just go back to the original color. Changing a car's color is a BIG ordeal if you plan to do it right. Rejambing and doing the engine bay are 2 big reasons to just respray it the same color.

i think civics look their best in black, but that long beach blue is pretty nice.
