Default Help me decide, please

I have decided on buying a 2002 S2000 sometime this upcoming week, and it's between two different cars. One is silver, with eibach springs and an AEM cold-air intake, and it has a hardtop. The other is red and it's stock. I really want it in red, but it's hard to resist the chance of having a $3,000 hardtop that I've heard really comes in handy. Both cars are $21,000 and they both have 20,000 miles on them. Please tell me what you would do.

You can always get a hardtop but getting the paintjob will be way more difficult. Go for Red.

Go for red, having a stock car is better.

Are both in comparable condition? Aslong as the red is as nice or nicer than the silver, I'd get the color you want. The red also comes with the benefit of probably not being driven as hard since its not modded.

Get the color you want and then mod it the way you want.

Go for the stock car, the other may have been driven harder since it has the mods. And silver is the most common color, red will be much more uniq.

And if you have to, you can always paint it black.
