it was the darkest looking s2000 next to a berlina that i have ever seen. i had to make a double take at it because i didnt believe it at first either. they had the top down and i coulda sworn i saw red badges. i didnt notice it until it passed right by my window so i only saw it from behind. im pretty sure it wasnt you skip cuz you have gold wheels and exhaust i think right? this one looked pretty stock.
I do not have SF Challenges anymore, nor do I have a running car. Silverstone is not just one color. Different years had slightly different variations. I'm not saying it wasn't MR, but I highly doubt it. It would either have to be imported(most likely by a military member) or a complete color change as it is not offered in the US.

MR has both blue and purple pearl. In some lights it looks like Silverstone. In other light it looks very dark.

I think I read that Silverstone has 7 different shades... meaning if you take it to a body shop that doesnt know about S's too much, it'll be very hard for them to match any paint they do unless they get the right shade the first time around by luck...

Most good shops now use a tool to measure/analyze the paint. This accounts for fade and general discoloration.

Holly poop! We were out in force tonight! I saw 5 cars on my way home!

2 Spa/Rio (I can't tell the difference) AP2's on 7 around Leesburg headed east and then 3 (yes, three!) Suzuka Blue's (2 AP2's and 1 AP1) about 3 minutes apart headed east on Route 9 through Loudoun County.

ALL TOP DOWN!! w00t!

All of this was within 1 hour. Good weather brining em out!
