I think you see the lines better in white. However, that black looks damn cool. You can't lose! I compromised on silver.

Frugal - black or Spyder Classic interior?
I prefer the white though both look great

Jet black with classic red interior has to be the most beautiful combo I've seen as long as you don't mind the silver interior trim.

Not a fan of red interior. Never liked its usage in s2000's, even though I do like the red stitching contrast with the black car. I thought white the whole time, but every time I see a black spyder it makes me change my mind. How does clear bra effect a black car? Does it not get the swirls? I'd wrap the whole car.

Black And I would go for Jet black which imo is gorgeous and gives regular black bit more specialness. I never liked white cars, too bland and I find the reflections of white actually reduces the depths of the lines while darker colors enhance it. I think one of the ransoms People love Gt silver vs Rhodium is the darker GT silver really shows of the lines of the car better

No, Belgian fellow who speaks english. Only 2 couples so like a private tour.

IMHO... Knowing the fact that you are in the PNW, I would go white over black. Have you ever owned a black car before? Maintenance/up keep on a Black car is WAY higher. I agree it looks awesome, but only if you keep it tip top shape. Another question is if the Spyder will be a weekend toy versus a daily driver? At the end of the day it really is up to you... Go with your own personal gut and not others, otherwise you will regret it down the road. Either route you go we will have to do a drive when your car arrives. Are you buying from Sunset?

Yes, buying from sunset... I have 7 other cars 3 being black. This will be a reserved weekend driver, so not too worried about it getting dirty. White is my gut call, but have a fondness every time I see a black one. I will have this car forever (if all goes as planned), so want to make sure I make the right decision. I have a white s2k already that is a track car, and prior to looking at the spyder, I was thinking on getting a black s2k. I am seriously 50/50. I know it's my call, but just looking for others opinions.

This summarizes my disposition. I think white is stellar. But just watch that spyder sales video on youtube from a dealer out east showcasing their black one. Oh my, so that's what it's like being seduced by the dark side. I was torn too, and ultimately landed on...GT Silver Have two white cars and a black one already, so simply opted for diversity (and I think it's the ultimate timeless/homage hue with spyder classic interior for someone that also wants to keep it indefinitely). Still adore white/black every time I see them...can't go wrong.
