Re: Confusion??

ok just making sure. so when i do paint fiji blue then i wont have the only em2 in that color... damn

im excited though. i'll still make it original somehow...

tragedy: exotic colors just arent me. i like simple. whats simpler than sticking with a honda color. just not white... ew.

Re: Confusion??

How much is that going to cost you to get it painted? I've thought about painting mine as i see way to many silver/grey colored 7thgen civics in my area and it's annoying. I have yet to see a fiji blue colored one and thats what i've actually thought about getting mine done but i've been lazy and haven't checked into seeing how much it would cost.

Re: Confusion??

keep it a semi normal color otherwise you are screwed if you need to repaint anything later or change parts.

cost? well i got lucky there. just gotta pay for paint. shouldnt be more than $250 or so. a local body shop owner is good friends with my parents and i help out at his shop so as long as i help sand and body work, labor is free. otherwise it would be costing me around 1k.
