Awesome 1stcivic!
Yes, that would look excellent if the wheels match.

Can we see a photo of your car?

Galaxy grey metallic is fantastic, that is the color of my lx as well, the website really doesn't do it justice. I would have called it pewter or something.

I went with galaxy gray because its neutral, easy to maintain and not eye catching, don't need any more attention to my cars, espcially on LI!

Put me down in the Atomic Blue column. It's the same color as Julie Banderas' suit currently on Fox News Channel. The car only comes with the gray interior. Take it or leave it. I think the other LX interior (ivory/yellow/tan depending on how the sunlight hits it) is an Atomic Bust. I've had the LX for 10 days. Fun to drive.

yea that red and black combo is crazy hot, but need the red gauges, not blue. I personally got my black and tan, which is elegant, but i wish they had the black inteiror available for the black ext. would make it so much sportier....o well.

I know black is a bitch to keep clean, but when its clean WOOO!, u guys gotta give black props

Shoreline Mist Metallic is like very light beach sand color. Something you see on a Florida beach which is where I live. Since it has metallic flakes in the paint it gives off a nice glitter effect of wet sand.

Wanted to try black pearl - I know it's tough to maintain but the reflection is tough to beat. A black coupe is very hard to get in Hawaii. There maybe only 1 or 2 others in Hilo.

The Shoreline Mist Metallic is very nice and the ivory interior is great too!

I just ordered my Civic Sedan EX '07 with this color combination
