They're both nice. Only you can answer the question.

I had a red 93 Acura Legend LS and loved the color. I then bought a Silver 01 Acura CL Type S in May 2000. The silver is a very classy looking color, plus it takes a lot of dirt to make it look bad. Even after a couple of days in the rain it still looked clean.

What I really missed about the red was the feeling you get (like with a black car) after you wash and clean her up. The red and black give off a look that makes you appreciate the hard work you put in more than the silver.

With the being said, I got a 2002 S2k in the Formula Red last month. I absolutely love this thing. The color is hot as hell. Throw some coats of Zaino on her and she will turn 99% of the heads you pass.

Just my $.02

Here are some pics of my red S2k

Personally I am set on formula red. Something you may want to consider before you make your choice is you really have to see the silverstone in person pictures do not do it justice. It is definately a personal choice however you slice it.

I would choose Red, but I don't know why.

The red looks more sporty on this car-the siverstone will attract less looks and cops. Both colors are good-are both available? Good luck. PT
