i think silverstone is meaner looking and sebring is classier looking. I personally like sebring on red because it reminds me of the real classic roadsters, plus the sebring is a newer color so it is less common than silverstone.

Silverstone exhibits a deeper and richer shine especially when using Zaino. Sebring has a sterile look and is a little too light IMHO.

I have a sebring and I really like it but I am starting to see a lot of them around. Fortunately, you can't go wrong either way.

If I had it to do again I'd consider the Sebring because it looks classic or the Spa because it looks great.

The Sebring is more 'silver', the Silverstone tends to go to the Grey end.

I like Silverstone because different lighting really changes the look.

I've always been a big fan of the Silverstone/Red combo. Of course, now that I have one I'm an even bigger fan of it. I always felt the Sebring always looked like "Toyota silver" like on those g@y solara's.

Color is so subjective. One is not better than the other. It's all up to what you like. For me, I couldn't decide between silver or white. then Sebring came along, and solved that dilemma quite nicely .



A lot of people compare Sebring to the cheaper-looking silver used by other manufacturers (see above), or even lower-end Hondas. It's actually a very complex color...it displays different properties under different light. It's a rich color that looks like no other silver to me. So is Silverstone. The bottom line is you need to compare them both in person. Once I had the chance to do that, I preferred Sebring. And like many of you, I lovedSilverstone. Here are the two colors parked by each other for you to compare. Best of luck to you!!

Well I have the Silverstone/Red so I guess agree with the sentiments that it looks good and is a classic combination for a roadster. After seeing both side-by-side, I would choose it again. The best thing to do is to look at them next to each other and decide which you like. It really comes down to personal taste.
