Default Sliverston vs Sebring

I know theres been a post on sliverstone and black but i want to know you views on the 2 slivers.
What i mainly want to know which car will give me more visual satisfaction? Which color has a higher gloss after a nice long wash and wax? Which looks more dull? etc. etc.

I hope I don't offend any Sebring owners, but that color to me is just too flat. It washes out bad in sunlight. In contrast, Silverstone sparkles in the sun. But in the end, it's a personal decision for you.

I loved my silverstone/red and would have bought the same combination if it were available in 2002.

no offense to the sebring owners, but silverstone brings much more character to the car. its easy to keep clean and just looks good in all light. the only problem is that damn near every other S I see is silverstone or sebring.

You would probably see a better gloss on the Silverstone after a good wax job. That's because Silverstone is a darker color, and the darker the color, the bigger the reward when it comes to polishing. (Just look at some of the polished Berlina S2000s on this board.) I wouldn't take anything away from the Sebring, though.

If there's one good thing about Sebring Silver is that it takes a while to look dirty. I used to have a black car and that had to be washed every week. This silver is very low maintenance. Hey, I'm a Sebring owner. I had to say a few good things.

Take a look at Silverstone in full sunshine. Sparkle will be the only word that comes to mind. And because Silverstone has texture, it hides dirt much better. Trust me, I've let it go before.... If you like white, get Sebring.
