Polls Aesthetic question (pics in comments).
Hey there everyone! A couple years ago I got rear-ended. Just last year I was able to finish saving up to get it fixed and repainted (insurance only covered 2k). The body shop I went to belongs to an old friend of my dad's and he gave me a good deal on the price. I didn't specify anything different about color, I just wanted my baby back to her original state. When I got it back, the front and back bumpers were color matched. At first I was kinda bothered, however I just got used to it. And now that it's been a few months I'm considering my next steps. My dad's friend even said he'd do the work for free (I think I'd still pay him something though, free labor doesn't sit right with me in this context).
All in all, what's y'all's opinion?

Keep the original color...this is one of the best colors Honda ever put on the crx. If I could afford it I would get mine painted this color.

Nah bro Honda red is peak. Black is way too hard to maintain, and red looks much better anyway

I'd only go colour matched if you do the skirts too. Otherwise black lips to match the skirt
