colors that I am considering:

Galapagos Green Pearl
Hunter Green-ish color
Silverstone Metallic

I am interested in a nice brown color too, haven't seen too many EKs that are brown

I sort of want to stick to a lighter color since I drive a lot and road rash shows up less on silver cars....Don't want to go as light as VSM though....

PS - OEM colors are cheaper

my friend had a pearl white 99 civic hatch and it looked absolutely sick in the sun. The more pearl the better. My other suggestion would be suzuka blue pearl which is the older s2000 blue (through 05 I think)

im serious really check out suzuka blue pearl. Shane at auto audio has a suzuka blue eg hatch. Could you imagine what an ek hatch would look like? So many more areas for the paint to really show! I want one now, thanks a lot
