Si Color poll--slvr metallic/ what color to order

groundcontrol_06 · 08-02-2006, 11:45 AM

Well since we dont see too many si's around here what better place to ask.. I'm looking for one that looks sharp and somewhat classy... I was looking at the alabaster silver metallic, i've only seen it it in the book, but it seems to look really nice.. The white was an option til i saw 2 different ones in the same day( no, it was'nt the same :) ) So is there anywhere on here or cn you all post some pics of yours so i can get an idea? Thanks

If you're looking for a classy color, I'd look into Alabaster Silver, Galaxy Gray, or Nighthawk Black Pearl.

Go for black. Nothin says class like black

Galaxy Grey. However, it makes for an "older" crowd. ASM if you like flashy yet classy.

Nothing says "Wash me every day" like black

because nothing shows dirt more than black.

I would say Go ASM

Thats what i was thinkin.. i didnt like the GG that much but ever pic i see of the ASM is real nice.. We have a black 06si coming in to my dealer in about a month .. 3 weeks.. And i told my sales man ( who i ve known / worked w for about 10 years ) CALL ME this time.. so i can see it.. Last time he had a habenero red one come in but he waited an entire 24 hours to call and when he did and i got up there ... It was gone... I was pissed.. Oh well i did nt want that color anyways:)

Plus the Silver color reflects the heat better than black which will keep your car cooler in the summer. Of course with the heat wave we have been having it really wont matter since HOT is HOT in any colored car

:) 2 more months before pre order... Also as you all can see im new so bare with me if these things have already been asked ..

Does the HFP body kit look that much better ? and how much is it

What are the best springs to look at as far as medium drop 1"-1.5" or so, and good ride

and as far as CAI and exhaust what are some good companies

That Habenero Red is pretty nice looking. My dealer had both sitting at their lot. I test drove the Silver one and just kept on driving

Next day the HR was gone

ASM + HFP kit looks hot. Look at 6spdchick's car. It's so hot, I almost forget who's driving it.

2evolved · 08-02-2006, 01:53 PM

Black wins the bling contest against all others I would say.

I own black and it looks damn good when clean but if your willing to put up with that so often, I think silver is a much much better color to take care of.

I have the Injen Cai on my ASM and it sounds and performs GREAT!
As far as Exhaust goes I will go with the Greddy Cat Back. The body kit is nice but I really like the way the car looks now. Nice and clean without being too ricey. And I am not dropping this car. It is pretty low already and the roads here in the wintertime suck. One Chuckhole and there goes the Suspension. I will get some 20% tint which will look GREAT on Silver.
and maybe some HFP wheels. I think they look awesome on the car.

See i think i did see her pic.. And yes that might have been what turned me to the ASM and HFP kit.... Is it really that big of a dif tho on the kit.. ?? it only looks like it lowers the skirts about an inch

Thanks for your input .. I just want to be ready and have everything im going to put on it here when it comes in.. I might lower it but i might wait since Duluth is nothing but a city on a hill.. And also being in northern MN when my si comes in around oohhh say december i really wanna lower it and plow my way to work anyways

***Izzy*** · 08-02-2006, 01:58 PM

It does only lower by an inch, maybe even less. But it adds to the car's aggressive look, especially with the spoiler's odd shape on the FG2.

Here's the link to her car:
She just got better

I like everything on hers .. Except the wheels... Civic IMO are picky on what wheels make them look good.. Personally i like the factory 17's .. If they were 18's i'd leave em :)

Quoted for truth. No color is better than black when it's clean.
