I say jet black. I found this picture of a black civic:

And hey, you can NEVER go wrong with black ;D If I had kept the Rex, I would've eventually painted it jet black.

Looks to me like your hatch is already black. gunmetal wouldn't look bad, but hey... Paint it whetever color you want ;)

outta the three colors you offered, I would say do the olive green. Why? Because you're car is either black or that metallic grey color already, so you might as well spice it up with something different. If you paint it gunmetal or black at times you won't even know you painted it.

Also black is a bitch to maintain, if you buff it wrong all the swirls show up and it looks like ass. Also when the paint gets older and older it's evident. Can't really hide the flaws.

Re:what color to paint my hatch?

gun metal with black steelies, black 'spoon style' mirrors, and a CF hood. Seems ricey, but I dont think it would be to bad. I would roll it.

paint it the yellow/green that the new m3's are painted.. then have someone paint the lowrider man on your hood. throw on some 13 inch luxor wire wheels with diamond caps. throw some fur on the dash a 15 inch subwoofer and tape one of thoes portable dvd players to your dash. oh and get some naked latino chicks painted on the side chicks love to see other chicks naked. it makes them want to get naked too

lmao, yeah im already riding on slips if you cant tell by the pics (its kinda far away) but i think i will do it the same color as the bennen hatch, that hatch is ------ sick, then i'll get the jdm side mouldings and jdm window visors...

Werd on the olive green, but ---- the jdm moldings and visors. The molding do ---- (would rather have no moldings, either shaved or cx style) and the visor, in japan the sun is on the other side, so now that you are the 'passenger' (jdmly speaking) the visors are non-functional. ;)

Basically, screw spending 2 bills on some 'jdm' molding and visors, spend it on a cf duckbill wing (i was also gonna add hood, but you paintin' the whole car might as well sport the newly painted hood). if you really need some jdmness, get a full "mugen" lip kit for it, front rear and sides.
