Default Candy stripes...

So I've had my GPW 04 since last November, and I love it, but there's now a used NFR 05 on the Honda lot I pass by regularly. I was torn between red and white when I got my S, and now I'm feeling the urge for red! I'm glad this is the biggest problem I have with my S, but I wish I could have both!

So anyway, if you could have any other color S besides what you already have (even those not offered where you live), what would it be? Obviously, GPW won out with me, but NFR will always have a special place in my heart...

You could always do like this guy did

Best of both worlds.

I've toyed with the idea of getting my GPW painted Moonrock Metallic, not available in the U.S....I also love the Monte Carlo Blue not offered here.

Even though red is the fastest color (mine is '02 NFR ), I would get a Monte Carlo Blue in a heartbeat if they were available in the US. I saw my first one in-person a few weeks ago in Antigua. I can't believe the owner actually drives it on the roads there. They were deplorable. Potholes big enough to lay to lay down in, and speed bumps 5" high, and 3' across. We rented a KIA Rio for a week, and put 6 months of wear and tear on it just driving normally.

My ideal choice would be MY04+ in GPW w/ red, but I probably would've settled with MY04+ in GPW / black -- sorry, I just don't dig the tan at all. Since neither was available from factory, NFR it was.

Moonrock looks amazing. Too bad it wasn't offered here.

Otherwise I think I'd like red with a tan interior (i know it doesn't come stock, but you could swap someone, or buy the stuff on your own)

This is what I would have done if I got red - I love the tan interior.

Well, it took me a couple of months to find my Spa, but if I could have a second S it would be Berlina, hands down. Case in point:
