Default Finally got mine...

I've been lurking on this site for over a year now hoping to someday get an S2000 at some point. I've made a few posts since but anyway I figure I should introduce myself.

My dream of getting an S has finally come true . I found the last Chicane Silver '09 S2000 left on the West Coast (according to the dealers). Got it for a pretty good under-MSRP deal and had it trucked down here to Laguna Niguel from Thousand Oaks this past Thursday. So far it drives awesome... I can't wait to break it in and let loose the VTEC!

Anyway here are some pics:

It is called Chicane Silver; it's different from Silverstone and has been around since the '08 model year .

Congrats on the purchase Swift GT. Love your colour - its the same as mine, though in Canada its called Synchro Silver Metallic. Same paint code as Chicane.

There are actually 3 different shades of silver offered - Silverstone, Sebring and Chicane/Synchro. There's also a very dark silver (almost charcoal) called Moonrock. They all have different paint codes, so they *are* different.

this color is sick!. my next choice. if they didn't have laguna blue pearl.
i like how it is a lot darker than the previous silver colors offered. looks more like gun metal. + the no window tape, + the dope style oem rims, i think the nicest oem s2000 rims next to the ap2 v1's. have fun with your new ride i sure did.
