happy with your s2k color?
i bought my silverstone ap2 earlier this year, but gpw and nfr were the colors i was trying to get at. i settled for a SSM because when you buy a used car, sometimes you just dont have much of a choice.
case in point, i thought i FOUND the perfect NFR. it was an 05 with 26k miles, for 16g, and it belonged to a 50+ year old guy in fresno. alright so i made the drive because everything checked out on the phone and i got to see some pictures and the carfax. when i got there, i found a bunch of repaint and gave up on it. not sure if the guy knew, but you can hardly blame a senior for that.
after a few weeks i saw a SSM for sale here and checked it out, i was getting tired of waiting for the right color, condition, miles, etc and though SS wasnt one of my first choices, i figured i could live with it (unlike rio, spa, sebring...) sooo i jumped on it. : ]]
did most of you get the color YOU wanted?

I too ended up with a SSM but originally wanted GPW. I bought the SSM because of availability & pricing. Every GPW I went to go look at was either riced out previously or had body work done but not mentioned when I went to look at it (came back clean on carfax too).
Just made sense with the miles and asking price..... Honda's Extended warranty was also included so that was a plus
Looking back on it now......................... I'm glad I didn't get the GPW! I know SSM are everywhere but in all honesty, I still haven't seen one done right. GTMotoring had a SSM RR version which was actually done really nice but was used for a while as a track car but then parted out shortly after.

First S was NFR and I loved it, then I wrecked it 
Second time around I looked for GPW or SSm with red interior. Settled for a Sebring, happy with my choice, but I eventually plan to get back into another NFR.
