Silverstone shows more contrast on the lines of the car, which to me are beautiful. Notice that the area on both cars where the light is reflecting the brightest is about the same brightness, but the Silverstone drops into a much darker tone under it, showing off the lines better. Just my own observation and one of the reasons I chose it as a color. It's not a dig on the Sebring because I like it too.
Some days, SILVERSTONE is too light for me. I have dreams about Moonrock...

A dirty sebring will look silverstone. SO just get the sebring to have the best of both worlds.
Silverstone always has that dirty look to me from afar.

Seriously, the posters who said it looks great even when hasn't been washed for a while are right, at least that's my experience. Besides, it's closer to Moonrock!

I like Sebring, and I think I made a good choice. I prefer it to Silverstone. However, there are way too many silver cars of all kinds on the roads these days. It's been a fad for too many years, and it's become boring. This applies to both Silverstone AND Sebring.
I wish I had purchased Grand Prix White or Berlina Black. I guess like you, I'm not too happy with the particular varieties of red and blue Honda has offered us in the US, so I would have to keep it monochromatic. White would be the first choice, because it seems more JDM.
Also don't forget that White and Black can accept a greater variety of wheel colors than silver. I think bronze / gold wheels look great on white or black, but you can't reasonably put them on a silver car. Silver and gold do not mix.
