    Im thinking all black (with dark as can be back windows, all of the car black)

    I think Im going to do all black since my interior is all dark grey and I want more of a sleeper since I am really looking into a B16A swap

    What should I shave too? Im taking out the antenna

    I agree with speed88. Go all black and shaved. Should look sweet. Be sure and tint, too, at least to like 25% or lower.

    if you are going to change the color please spend the money to do it right and get the door jams done and places like that. and remember it's going to cost a lot more to change the color totally (the right way).

    Don't put an Si emblem on it. you might have the engine, but it's not a civic, thus you don't have the rest that makes the car an Si. If you want to show off you motor get a set of custom license plates that say B16, or Vtec or DOHC. I'm gonna get custom plates later that say A20A3 for my car.
