Default hit deer, new jdm front, but what color?

well the other night i hit a deer and messed up the front end pretty good, so i decided to chip in some extra money and go with a jdm front end and while im at it get some minor rust, dings taken care of and get the whole car repainted, right now its teal and im pretty sure i want to do a full color change on it



i was thinking of painting it a color close to teal but yet different, i wanna keep it around same color so i dont hafta get the engine bay painted, would you do this or just repaint it teal so i dont hafta worry, or fork out the extra 500 for complete color change?

any ideas on colors if i do a full color change , i was thinking a dark green, or theres a bmw color i like thats a dark green/blue

any input is appreciated

well getting your car painted is big bro. cant be cheap with it or you will regret it in the end. I personally say paint it a sexy *** white pearl and get the trim and bay done too. it will be so worth it.

get the jdm front; take it to the best paint shop around and NEVER change the color of your car; thats what my daddy taught me

I agree JDM front
same color reprayed maybe a hint of pearl

so hard to choose a color for you though get into photoshop have a play around with diff colors if you really want to change see what it looks like on your car

I'd do a whole color change to steel metallic gray. Would look awesome if you had that JDM front you were talking about.

Silver. And $500 bux is like nothing. When it comes to paint jobs, you can't go cheap ...

I agree ive seen a few USDM front teg with colors like this, Oem thundergrey metallic, viper grey, stuff like that. All you see day long is white, Black, PY Jdm front teg's. I think ive maybe seen one Metallic grey Jdm front teg, let alone a few Usdm fronts that color. If I ever did a color change it would be something along those lines.

Also no disrespect, but the Teal integra has never grew on me, but i also think its because they only came in the 94-97, tegs, I think a teal 98+ would look ncie, so who knows the Jdm front/teal combo may work out and be original.

like some other people mentioned, i think that a darker green would look really nice... or just keep it the existing color... i've never seen a JDM front on a teal teg.

Just my opinion and I know a lot of people have/like it but I think teal SUCKS! Dark green is cool.....black, silver, white, yellow, it dont matter just not teal

Never really liked teal...

Take your pick..



Personally, I think the metallic grey is really really nice, and is the colour i'd choose if I had to..

I'd keep it BG-33P. One of the best colors of all time. And plus there aren't very many Integras that color with a JDM frontend.

You know, its amazing how so many people over here who are driving EKs and DC2s are looking for USDM parts ... (like the 98+ USDM DC2 front bumper and USDM EK side mirrors (the non-retractable ones)
