Here's what it should look like (not as low...I figured I'd do that at the same time for fun....).

How about a slightly darker Civic SI Blue , with a slight purple ting...
That would match the beige interior...

Or you can go with a Maroon Color , with some type of a tint color that would make the car looks somewhat of a different color under certain light

I think that grey is perfect for the classier look you said you were aiming for. and with the wheels that you have...... sweet!

I like it alot and think you making the right decision. good luck with it.

I guess I would have to see the finished product. Because it really does not look that great to me in that color , (My opinion) .. I personally really like the car in Red , but I think for it to really get noticed by judbes, it should be a brighter/slightly dark color
like Dark Blue, maybe navy ... A light black .. or something in those shade areas ,..
I think the RED will get noticed most out of all colors, simply because most people associate Red with being a Hot color

I like that color a lot. Will you be running the same wheels once painted? I am asking because in some other thread you mentioned that you are buying new rims.........

Those are the new rims. I had Enkei RS6s a week ago.

And I'm going to the shop tomorrow to try and get them to settle on an official date, but because it's a sort of sponsorship, I can't be too pushy...
I just have to buzz around them until they get fed up and take my car in...The thing is the shop is 35 minutes from my house.

And Bruce, I agree that the car looks awesome in red and I have always loved red cars, but cops notice red cars too.... And it's time for a change... And my Dad bought a red car so we need a new color in the driveway.... And damn it looks classy in that color!!

I think I might have found a deal on an interior too... I know I wanted beige, but I'm starting to think that all black leather might be the way to go.....

What do you guys think?

There's a shop near where I live that does custom interiors in genuine leather. Because the owner is part of the same car club as my friend, I can get a deal on my interior.

It would be 1500$ Canadian, which is the price all other shops charge for vinyl. That would be for 2 front seats, 1 rear bench and 4 door panels. Pretty good if you ask me...

I would be all over that interior deal..
I hear you on the RED cars being noticed....
My Protege is also red and the damn car just stands out so much. You can see my Protege from two blocks away, when I park in front of my house. lol ....

funny the color code is SU, I think it should be SME ... lol

I would love to see some high res pics of your car after the paint job. I think I am not taking into consideration that you did that photo by photoshop... gleeming may change my mind.
