Default hi everyone, UMW noobie!

hi everyone, my name is keith. i have been forum lurking here for a while now and come spring time will be a new owner of an s2000. i have seen many and i mean mannnny great looking cars on here, which makes choosing the color of my soon to be difficult.

right now, ive been moving away from berlina since my civic is black.

so my top three are:
sebring silver
silverstone
grand prix (extremely difficult to find in the UMW region)

basically i just want to know what color i should go with... i realize that it's really based on my own preference but ive been thinking about this ever since, and can't make up my mind.

thanks everyone!

Move back, your choice should be black

Berlina = sex

Spa is great looking, but it has a little to much "hey look at me!" appeal for my taste. Black is sleek and sophisticated. I don't like the silvers much, they are a bit bland for my taste and there are a ton of them. GPW would be a great choice, it really grows on ya. Add a few carbon fiber pieces and that would be a hot car!

Where are you from in the UMW?

No doubt about it - Silverstone everybody knows that Silverstone is the fastest of the S2000's

lol thanks alot guys. im still doing alot of searching and i did find a 2002 gpw for 23k. so im leaning towards it butyou never know.. i will def. get to a meet as soon as i pick the car up. i still have to wait until my little sister gets her license (after her ACT's), then i can get the car.

also is there anything i should look for when searching? i'm not sure but i think there may have been a few recalls.

$23k for 2002 is too high, specially in midlle of winter in Chicago.
You should post your inquiry about price in Upper Mid-West forum, they may be able to help you find a used S with more reasonable price.
Good luck
