color change...help decide!

ok, im getting my car repainted at the end of winter and im right now trying to get all the parts together for the exterior before i get it repainted
not pictured in all pics i have a kamanari front lip and side skirts and oem taillights again so dont flame for the tinted altezzas...so before i get my exterior painted, i need to get an oem rear bumper, oem aero rear lip, tsunami roof wing lip thing, eyelids, driver side fender, and a carbon fiber hood, i have hookups with paint so i have a set quote on a paint job any oem color with bronze flakes and extra clear coat for $750
i have thought about the electron si blue with bronze flakes, wrx blue with bronze flakes, or a deep pearl red with bronze flakes, if anyone has any other suggestions on what will look good with my bronze rims, or have a preference wiht one of the colors that i like, let me know
here are some pictures...








ANY OTHER COMMENTS ABOUT MY CAR IS WELCOME, its been awhile since ive posted pics so let me know what you think!
thanks

I'd go with the si blue. It's a honda color, so it won't look out of place, and will look really good with your wheels. I like the green people are posting, but I think it looks better on the older civics. I don't see that looking good on a 7th gen. Nice car, by the way.

that puke green is terrible. looks like its 10 yr old faded paint. get something similar to black, so then they wont have to take the entire car apart to color match all the painted areas.

yea, well the guy is painting the fender gap, behind the fender, door jams, and trunk, so it wont look out of place
i think the green looks a little faded n stuff, not my cup of tea, i liked orange too, but i dont kno how thatl look with bronze rims...
ok, my choices now are si blue with bronze flakes, championship white wiht bronze flakes, orange like andrew i think his name is ajhdragon or something on here, or a deep red with bronze flakes, i found the color from andysautosport.com, when u go to their homepage, thers a 240 or something above CARS thats a nice deep red

btw, does anyone know how to post a poll on here for you guys to check what color you think will look best?
thanks



what blue is that?
it said LBBP blue, lectron blue pearl? i dunno
what is it guys?

I like the idea of keeping some black and doing a burgungy to gold/orange ghost fade

I assume that would add a fair bit of $$$$ however......
