Someone above posted that Sebring wasn't available until 2002.
If so, it must be Silverstone?
Is this correct?
Thanks,

" looks like one day silverstone got roudy in the honda plant with GPW and in the year 2002 GPW gave birth to little sebring..."

I'll post a picture tonight when I get home from work.
From the sounds of it above though it sounds like mine is Silverstone.
What's all this about the color code?
Where do I look to get that? Is it part of the VIN or something?
I'm new here, having owned the car now for only about 1 month or less I think.

The difference.... class: Silvestone has it, Sebring lacks it.

Please, do not make fun of and confuse the poor new owners. The color code is NOT in the VIN, and the color code is NOT on a stick!!!

The color code is on a little sticker in the door jam of your car. Just open the doors (there are only two of them, so if you don't find it on one door jam, go and try the other one, it is not that hard). The color code specifies exactly what color your car was painted. If you need to match the paint, you will need to use the color code, and NOT the name of the color. Given the color code, the computer can mix the exact color match paint to the original.

For those who are curious about the VIN, this is from an old post, notice no color code:

1- country of origin
2- make
3- vehicle type
4- restraint type
5- model
6- series(trim level)
7- body type
8- engine
9- check digit(no meaning)
10- year
11- assembly plant
12 through 17- production sequence

About .5sec in the quarter mile. The Silverstone is faster. The red/black interior also buys you another 10th.

I was going to look and maybe even post a pic last night but I forgot!...packing for flight today.
And I drove the "beater" today because I want to leave that at the airport.
So I'll check Sun - thanks for everyone's help.
