Default Just saw a 2003 white/tan

My local dealer just got a 2003 white with tan interior. I went over to check it out, and actually think it looks very classy. The photos in the photos forum make it a little hard to tell what shade of tan it is, but it's somewhere in between those photos. (can't find the link to the photos but they're in photo gallery somewhere)

The seats and just the trim of the center console and door inserts are tan, with tan carpet, the rest is black. I think it looks nice, and would definitely be cooler to hop into during the summer with the top down. The top is still black.

I think the color distribution is the same as the original red interiors, where most of the interior was black, just some parts were red like the seats and door inserts.

I didn't see any physical differences inside from the '02. I may swing over there later and take it out for a test drive. Wonder if they'll encourage me to VTEC it.

Of course, they are still trying that old tired sales pitch of a $5k markup due to market demand.

Ahh, thank you. The actual color is slightly darker than shown here. It's nice. I think it must be close to the tan used in the older Integras - I had one with a tan interior and it looked really good. I'm glad the door handle is black, though, because that gets really grubby after awhile in the tan.

I just don't think tan is going to keep it's look very long even if it's conditioned often it's gonna get that dirty cracking.

I saw one on Monday in the show room. It doesn't look very sporty to me. The White/Red looked a lot better in my opinion. It was at Criswell Honda in case someone around here want check it out.

Looks like the 2003 shift knob is the new minimalist style...
