I think it looks o.k. Not my favorite, but I have seen worse. Ultimately it doesn't matter what we think, if you don't like it, don't buy it.

I bet the majority of the people who say "the all red interior is too much for me" has never actually seen it in person. I was the same exact way before I purchased my silver/red s2k.

The seller showed me pics and initially I was like ehh...but once I saw it in person I fell in love with it. It's def not too much at all...IT'S A CONVERTIBLE ROADSTER...It's suppose to have some flavor to it.

I enjoy the compliments I get every time I take it out.

I couldn't agree more with the words written above. When I first saw a picture of it, I thought it was too much. As soon as I saw it in PERSON, I feel in love with it and wouldn't have it any other way! It was hard to take pictures that actually show what it looks like in person, but these are close...












Also, the red roll hoops from behind look great.

I like. I think the steering wheel could have been red too - it kind of sticks out being black. But real

I have an 03 Silverstone with all red interior. I bought it new and that is the combination that I wanted. I personally like it. It is the same combo that I had on my 87 Corvette and there were only 20 of those made.
The only problem that I have had is that the interior (seats) darkened over time and are not as bright as when new. I have used Lexol cleaner/ conditioner on it since new, but it has turned darker anyway. I think this is because of the daily use and wear that it has sustained, not the Lexol's use.
If the car at which you are looking makes your heart jump-buy it, if not walk away and don't have any regrets. It wasn't the car for you.

You have a Chicane Silver S, but what does the Synchro part of your description mean? Why did Honda ever get rid of Silverstone!?
That is a fantastic question that I don't have an answer to. When I was updating my information here the colors are listed and I checked Chicane, because that's what I have, the synchro may be a color unavailable in the state. Unless you have a Chicane next to a Silverstone you won't be able to tell the difference, they are VERY close, it seems like change for the sake of change.

The silver with red leather interior was found on classics such as the M-B Gullwing. In other words to many of us older owners the all red interior is classic period.

I really like my MY03 Sebring/Red

yeah i got a 03 silver with all red. Didn't like it at first but I really love it now. It's a classic look that turns heads... Was thinking of repainting it white to go with the red but I think I might just repaint it a darker silver. The red really makes it look more expensive than it is...
