You know I saw a silver '04 today while I was driving my Yellow I really don't want to get into a colour war thing, everything loves their colours for one reason or another. Buying a car to be stealth is kind of silly the radar looks at your plate not at the colour of your car.
Anywho, the silver S2k looked bland really, didn't stand out at ALL, didn't shine it looked dark and rainy even though it was a beautifull sunny day. Once I stopped looking at it, all joy came back as I looked over at my hood on my yellow sunny joyfull car

Hopefully, most officer's will agree!

dlq,
I think there are insurance stats on this stuff. I've always heard that red cars got the most attention from the smokeys. That said, I had a red miata for 10 years and never got a ticket. I did get one once in a red Prelude. I got a warning recently in my dark green Sidekick...
I dunno. I kind of agree with wing that choosing a color on the basis of stealthiness (especially a sports car) is a little silly. You want to be able to look at your baby and be thrilled with your color choice.

Tough choice, Honda did a good job on all of the colors. I considered some of the brighter colors but went with my first pick: Silverstone. It's super easy to clean, always looks shiny, hides swirls and scratches, changes looks under in different lighting, and is about as stealth as you can get to avoid tickets.
When you want more color just wear the brightest shirt you can find

Although I own a Suzuka Blue model, I saw the GP White with Tan interior and it looks fabulous and if I had a second chance to buy one, I would go with that one.
When I bought my car, the dealer only had the blue and a silver one, and I always liked the blue and the blue was the color Honda used to show off the S2000 at the auto show.

I really wanted a spa yellow before I bought my car, but now that I have my Silverstone I'm glad I have it. In the 2.5 weeks I've had my car I've been pulled once (got away with a warning) and followed by cops at least 2-3 times. I really wouldn't want the extra attention that a bright color brings; The car itself gets enough attention already.
