i think the color should depend if your car is dropped and on rims or not. If it is, IMO you should get something bright, but if not, i would choose a darker color. I think red would be amazing. I wish my 09 was red..

You are talking $6K to $10K for a decent major color change. They practically will have to disassemble the car to get the door jams, trunk, hood spaces, etc. Plus striping and sanding, 15 layers of primer, 15 layers of paint, 15 layers of clearcoat... I'd think about it. Plus your VIN plate will not match the color. I would assume the car was wrecked if you try to resell... hurting the value.

it is pretty similar to vbp...

if you're gonan do a custom paint job, go for somethign different...matte black imo looks cheap and ghetto. if you're gonna go for a matte color, i'd go with white.

for me, i'd get something that isn't a known acura/honda color. why spend that amount of cash for a color that's similar to another stock color?

dont do a matte color unless you have some quality drop. saw a matte black 328, bone stock, no drop, stock wheels. it didnt look that nice


on the other than, saw a matte gray c63, dropped, wheels, exhausts. it was a beast

^ Nice car, but matte to me looks like a primer car waiting for paint. And Ed, the Ferrari (I think) looks like it ran into a cow's ass. The old adage "less is more."
