Talking New to me 2005 Sebring w/Red Interior!!!!

WOW!!!! I am very fortunate, I actually had 3 incredible cars to choose from, it came down to 2 one owner babied S2000's. I nearly bought the Laguna Blue for sale on here from Bob (shades), what a car!!! Anyone looking needs to look at his car. In the end it came down to the Hardtop and the Classic Silver w/Red color combo that I absolutely LOVE!!!! It drove like it just came off the showroom floor. I can't believe how easy the Hardtop goes on and off. The prior owner had the HT on 99% of the time, the soft top underneath is brand new.

I look forward to learning a lot from this forum, I don't pick it up until next week, cannot wait!!!

Thank you Mike (2001e46) for taking care of this car, I will continue to do so for many years!!!

Cheers!!!!

Congratulations, it looks very pristine. Love the '04-'05 red/black seats, I have them in my SSM 2003. I am sure you will have an ear to ear smile for weeks if not months about your choice.

I am already buying some small mods, just purchased the Hendy 4 piece mats!!!! I want to buy a front lip spoiler, but Sebring Silver is OUT of stock everywhere. I might buy another color and have it painted, not sure yet. I am sticking with Cosmetic mods, I do not plan to go crazy, might add some Carbon Fiber to the inside, although the Silver contrasts well with the black/red.

Thank you all, the Seats were a BIG reason I chose this one!!!

I chose to add some subtle touches and keep the CF for under the hood, personal choice I guess.

Here is my new wheel and the matching shift boot will be next.

For what its worth - I think the interior of your car is gorgeous and that it will not benefit from modification. Best thing, in my personal opinion, would be to leave it just as it is and put your time and money into taking good care of it, not changing it. Just one man's opinion.

Yes it is alcantara and perforated Napa leather with competition grip on a D shaped wheel from Guardian Designs. Can't wait until spring!

I second this. Sadly even S2000's suffer from the Honda modding for the sake of it mindset that people put into other Hondas. I think of the S2000 more like Boxster or Z4. The S2000 is in a league with respectable true sports cars and should be treated as such. I've seen some tastefully modded ones that look wonderful and I'm sure perform better as well but many of them just make me sad.
