Need some friendly advice
I would be very grateful for any advice about:
1. Whether the Silverstone color is still being produced and sold as new. I have been advised that the car on offer, by my official local Honda dealer that it has the glass rear window (i.e. an '02), but is in Silverstone. I thought that Sebring was the only silver now available worldwide. Could be that they don't know the difference. I will see the car tomorow anyway. For that matter, apart from the '02 changes to the rear window, inner door panels (tweeters, handle etc...), Rick's Centre Console Cover takeoff, upgraded lights (front/rear)and shifter, was anything else done mechanically?
2. Has anyone installed the soft top inner cover as offered by MG Racing? Any pictures or advice on this accessory?
3. Once the optional hardtop has been installed, how hard or easy would it be to remove, say for a quick blast with the roof down? Is it a matter of unclipping the 2 clips, unplugging the rear window heater connection and off it goes?
4. Re. the optional OEM CD changer, does anyone have any photos of the install? Does it take too much space in the trunk, as I want to be able to carry a set of golf clubs (I know that the S2000 CAN carry a full set of Mizuno Golf clubs-I tried it in the demo but can't remember for sure if it had the CD changer).
Thanks to all who respond...

I can only answer your first question. I just picked up my 2002 Sebring Silver and I believe that I am correct in stating that it has replaced Silverstone as the "silver" shade for 2002. Sebring is a much lighter, brighter silver than the Silvestone.
The only significant mechanical mods that I am aware of in the 2002 model other than what you've listed are some changes to the transmission to improve it.
Good luck with your choice. I've had mine for about 4 days, 500+ miles of absolute pure joy!

The car on the left is Sebring, the one on the right is Silverstone.
The hardtop has 4 latches. It requires 2 people to properly handle it. Once off, you need a space somewhere to put it. Or you can built a hoist above the car and hang it from the ceiling. With this, 1 person can do it.
