Good luck it should turn out nice! In person, that color is very deep and eye catching. If you see a Civic that color on the road it grabs your attention. Now on a Civic, it's kinda gaudy, but with the curves of a Z it should be sexy.
If it is the EM2 Honda Civic Gold then it would be a Honda Factory color called Inca Pearl. Here is a link to a thread on Honda-Tech with a car that color for sale with good close up pics...check it out.

Definitely looks great! I'm running a TL Bi-xenon retrofit on my 2005 Frontier and love the output. You'll like the change. I too would be curious to see how the painted interior housing of the new cheapo lights looks.
This sort of conversion will be a must whenever I get my hands on the perfect project.
Thanks for those pointers! I too am looking for a project vehicle and this will come in handy as I start going out and looking at potential candidates.
