Default White, Silver, Or Yellow???

I'm getting an S2K in one month....

I can't decide on a color though!!!!

I know black looks awesome...but it's a ----- to keep clean...

That leaves me 3 choices...

Silver looks good...but I think it's played out already...all the loser BMW 3 series-es, Boxsters...all are Silver

White looks really clean IMO...crisp, fast...like an evil angel... =)

And yellow...damn...I want it!!!!!! But all my friends say "Hey, yellow is awesome in Gran Turismo...but do you really want to look at that every day?"

I've seen the Spa Yellow, and it looks very clean...it's not overly-done...I like that.

But I heard that Yellow chips-pits easily? Is this true?

Any opinions on these 3 colors?

Thanks guys.

BTW...I'm a guy...and I don't think Yellow is girlish...I mean, I'd die to have a Yellow 360 Ferrari or Z06 Vette...

Your going have a "which color is best, fastest, ect." war going with this thread. My advice... Pick the color YOU like the best and don't look back (except to see all those poor suckers that will be in your rearview mirror).

Enjoy your new car.

Hey,
I would go with the Spa yellow. While I haven't taken delievry of mine, its the only colour that WOWs me every time I see a picture or one in the flesh. That and the fact that the yellow looks great with the hard top too.
I like the white as well, just not too keen on the red interior.
Just my personal opinions...good luck!

Personally I think black is the best looking but yellow looks amazing. For some reason red doesn't look right.

I had two white Integras ('87 & '94) and both looked great. I now have a Spa Yellow Pearl Stook and it looks great. Especially in the sun where the pearl comes out best. The thing I liked best about the yellow was it was rarer than the other Stooks on the road and it makes it look different than the other ones. Just my opinion.

It must've been an after-market modification. White/red is the rarest. White/black is not available in the US, only Japan, but I've heard people swap out the red interior with another Stook's black one.
