hey Bobatimez, I am partial to Silver, but red would be ok, there are so many silvers already as you can see... but the S2000 looks great in any color, so what ever you pick will be cool.

While the red looks good, I prefer the "incognito" effect of my silver stook. I'd also bet it attracts less speeding tickets, though some people on this board have reported being hit in their silver as it seems to blend into the road. Also, if not cared for properly, red usually ends up looking like cr*p after a few years.
But, if you're looking for a "chick magnet" I can't argue with the photos above ...

probably so, but Honda's paint quality has improved greatly over the years.

as for silver- yes it blends in well, sometimes so well that the # of silver cars and door dings ratio is increasing - much more so than red.

chick magnet? maybe. but even more so 'high school teenagers' and 'import enthusiast' magnets.

What I love about the silver is how it looks with a red interior. Invariably, when passersby praise the car, they almost mention how cool the car looks then mention the red interior. With a roadster, it shows a lot.

Rick,

I agree totally!

When the 2000 C5 Corvette interior color choice changed from Firethorn Red (deep, dark red) to Torch Red (Just as an example, the red paint on Corvettes is Torch Red), I thought "gross"

But then I saw a silver/red convertible and it actually looked pretty good...

Yellow/Red (luckily NOT offered on the S2000) is a whole different story

I tried to get Silver/Red but there were NONE available in the Northwest. I was told it'd be 90 days before we'd see any! I LOVE THAT COMBO. But, instead, I'll take a Sikver/Black now.
