Sazuka- nice, but cant do the int.
Grey is just Grey

My fav color, Imola Orange. Too bad it's not offered here.
If I ever repaint mine, this will be it.

At the time I bought mine, these cars were very hard to find used, the only thing I knew I couldn't live with was a red or blue interior, other than that, I was after the first one worth buying (milage, no accedents, clean, etc). I ended up with red, not my fav, but certainly can live with it. If I had my choice of american colors it would have been black on black (looks so mean in black). If I had my choice of any S color it would be Imola!!!

Seems like there is no love for the sebring silvers..I had a white rsx, so I decided I wanted a new color. red/yellow a little bit flashy but they're still nice. My mom drives a black lexus and it always seems to look dirty very quickly. One day I was driving in Santa Monica in my rsx when I saw this sebring silver, lowerd with a OEM lip and the sun just beaming on it. I automatically knew that was the color I wanted.

My thought process...

Well, once I decided I wanted an S2000 as my next car, I actually decided I wanted one in "not silver." Seems like they're all silver. Yellow was too flashy for me. Suzuka Blue was actually calling my name, I really like it (though I can live without the 1985 Accord blue interior color).

Well then I find this 2004 in silverstone with 13K miles on it that's in such impossibly good shape, I decided, you know, I can live with silver, and I kind of like the "dark silver" nature of the color anyway.

Now with the super dark tint, smoked sidemarkers and hyper black Rotas, I've grown to love it. But, I still somehow covet Suzuka. It's different.

I chose Silverstone because I wanted the Red/Black interior offered in 2005, and I dont like the lighter Sebring Silver. Plus, to me I just like the look of Silverstone and it is a bit easier to keep clean looking as I dont wash it as much as I should. I love Black, but harder to keep clean, looks dirtier quicker, but it does look damn good when clean, but again it was not offered with the Red/Black interior.

When I was shopping this year it came down to this:
NFR - not offered in Canada for 2007
Yellow - not offered in Canada for 2007
Black - too hard to keep clean, had that color before.
Silver - color of my '05 Accord EX-L didn't want the same color
Bermuda Blue - my wife doesn't like blue on a sports car.
Imola Orange - wasn't sure at first until I saw it in person..then yes, yes, YES!
