The S2k? I've seen sigs with them and user Icons too(how do you setup user icons btw..do you have to pay?) Anyway, the Blue that I've seen for 2002 looks to be a baby blue. When was that purple/blue color available? ThanX

Nopes, i think he is talking about the 98-00 Prelude Silver. I had that same car. The more blue one would be the 01 model. IT had a tint of blue compared to the earlier models that were tinted purple.

The color that 4IGS2000 is talking about is called Crystal Metallic Blue... I had a 99 prelude in this color and really liked it.... but yeah Monte Carlo Blue is the one that fred's thinking of.

There was another silver before the Crystal Blue Metallic. I believe it was called Nordic Mist metallic.

You also could be talking about the blue that the Si's come in. It's called Electron Blue Pearl and it only came on the '01 models.

I'm not really sure how everyone here got so confused, but I'll see if I can't set things straight. (hopefully I'll not end up making an ass of myself in the process)

5th-gen Prelude colors:
Nordic Mist Metallic - light silver, hint of blue
Crystal Blue Metallic - light silver with slightly more blue
Electron Blue Pearl - bright blue color

S2000 colors:
Suzuka Blue - light "baby" blue (only available in 2002)
Monte Carlo Blue - very dark blue (avail. in Japan and Europe)

Fire_Man_Fred is undoubtedly referring to Suzuka Blue on the S2000. It was unveiled this year (2002) as a new S2000 color, and early reports say that it will not be available as an option in 2003, but that information is not yet confirmed.
