For the LEDs, I don't think using green ones would make much difference for the blue parts. You might be able get a different colored overlay. I would check out Civic forums for more info.
What civic forum xD (I think I found it but I'm not sure)? And yea, I guess I will have to see about the MPG, I'm kinda thinking about not getting it because I can get a corolla with double the mileage for only 3.5k, and I figure that the gas I will save in the 50k less miles I will get out of the transmission will pay for itself if I can get 5-8 more mpg out of a 00-01 corolla... Idk MPG is my main concern. I got to drive my boyfriends moms civic (2013) down to the gas station (15 mile round trip) and I averaged 49mpg (did a little coasting in neutral and had a headwind going there/tailwind coming back) and I noticed his mom only gets 38.1 average so. Idk. The MPG concerns me because I drive 80 miles round trip a day, and would rather spend more money now to spend less gas in the long run, making up for the difference... I'm confused right now tbh. I just want to be able to average 38-41mpg and I'll be happy but if I can't even get that out of this Civic, I won't even bother getting it.
