If I had been buying new, I would jave gone with white with red leather. But, I bought my car used and got a great deal from a family member, so I went with what she had. I really like the Suzuka since it is unique.

Think about what mods you might do when thinking about color. I looked at a bunch of S2000's and thought silverstone looked the best. I always loved black but on the S2000 silver just looked the best to me. But now I'm thinking about wheels and all the great color combo's for wheels/cars are not for silver. My choices for wheels seems limited by the silver color and I wish I thought about wheel choices / color combos when I was buying.

I guess just look through the gallery a lot and pick your favorites. Then just be patient when buying...

Hi Travis. Put a set a white wheels on your Silverstone. Look around in the Gallery and you will find a couple. Black wheels on the silvers is way too common. This is the color I put on my Sebring and the color I would have ordered had it been an option when new.
The only down side for you is -these are the exact colors that speak volumns to Oakland Raiders fans. If these colors bring forth a feeling of resentment and hate, then you have no choice then to go with something else.

I had had 10 red cars in 6 years and my wife wanted me to break the habit. I didn't want to fight with keeping black clean. In 99 that left me with White of Silverstone. What it really came down to was finding a dealer that would sell me a car at MSRP. I ended up with Silverstone / Red.

I wasn't perticular with the exterior color but I was adament that I wanted a solid black interior. Long story- I ordered an NFR and when I discovered that I'd have an extended wait, I drove 150mi to get a Berlina. When I got there, they also had the Sebring which I chose over the Berlina for practical reasons. I could have been happy with any of these colors. I drove past a dealer that HAD a GPW which would have been fine but the car had a red/blk interior which (for me) was out of the question. They are all nice so perhaps you have a color or color interior combo you do not care for. Avoid these and get a car that is redily available in your local area. My take anyway.
