Default Which BLACK would you go with ? Redoing my DC2 (? Blue Pearl ?)

Hi all

I put my integra in a ditch about a month and a half ago, and when I replace the front, I have some body upgrades to do. Its currently the factory 94 black, and although the paint itself isnt in bad shape, its laden with dings from being an every day driver in NOVA... the car now resides within miles of Virginia Motorsports park, and thank heavens it was saved from NOVA

I am adding a Comptech Front Lip (ITR Style), OEM Optional Body Kit, 98+ rear bumper, and an OEM ITR wing. Once I get it repainted I will be adding some 16" Bronze rims of some sort (Narrowed down to Black Racing Pro-N1, Rota Circuit 10, Volk TE-37, Work Emotion CR)... So now i'm faced with this question

What color black should I paint my Teg. I was told that there is a OEM Honda/Acura black that has a blue pearl to it. I think this would be nice looking. Whats the word/opinion on this. ALL HELP IS APPRECIATED. Please post your comments, opinions, and photos... below is my car in stock form.

I think FBP has the blue pearl in it, and NBP has a red pearl in it. I like FBP better.

If you go through all the trouble of getting new paint, I think you should do something different than an OEM color.
