Thanks for those pics - great Job.

2 Observations:

1. Roof - It is not fully automated (per another thread), and still requires manual latching

2. Sebring Silver Rocks, see the following pic:



Some time ago, the Uk sites posted pics like this one, which had a very light silver - in fact there was a quick time done under very bright lights. The effect was a sebring silver look.

Believe me it is awesome b/c of 2 things:
1. It can look good all the time. Whereas silverstone looks quite average if it is quite overcast as it blends into the road.

2. The front oem spoiler rocks on a lighter silver. In fact, imo silverstone is the only colour which looks worse with the oem front spoiler on.

I expected the new silver to be lighter, so that's no surprise. Side by side they both look good to me. Red cars look good on overcast days. White cars look good on bright days. And silver looks good every day! (he, he)

Thanks for pics. I see Honda followed our lead (some of us) and now has two carpet posts (duh!).

Thank you very much for taking the pics.


I still like my Silverstone metallic better. The seabring almost looks white.

I have an '02 Sebring/black on order. I have to say that I like the Silverstone better, and just hope my rig will look ok. I just wish you could get a Silverstone with the glass rear window.

I do not regret my order a bit.

The Sebring silver is certainly more common than the silverstone, but it looks very clean and bright... My old Porsche was Polar Silver and the paint was a breeze to maintain... you could barely see any scratches even after 8 years of driving...

The Sebring silver does matches the aluminium trim pieces perfectly...

I like it!! I will post more pics when I'll pick up mine this Saturday.
