I'm looking to purchase a 97-01 Prelude.
I like black, but after the paint peeling on my GSR and the extra heat in the summer, I want to get a silver car.
I know the 2001 model Silver (base and SH) is a "pure" silver and that's the color I like.
I've seen several of the 97-00 Base Model cars in silver that have that blue hue to them and that's just not my style
I was recently told about a Silver 1997 SH and was told it was the "pure silver".
I have not seen out the car yet.
SO does anyone know if the Silver 1997 SH's are the "pure silver" or should I expect the blue hue like the 97-00 base models? IS the SH silver like the base model silver for that year?
Also, can anyone tell me what, if any, other years have the PURE SILVER?
Thanks in advance.

 

i'm pretty sure there isn't a pure silver SH. the closest thing is the nordic mist and thats what i have for my 97SH

 

White Pearl looks the best. But don't buy a car for the color, that can always be changed later.

 

nordic mist might be closer to silver...the bluish one you speak of is crystlal blue metallic....i think it looks better than silver, but thats just me. i agree w/ kronn....pearl white....its the best....and i have it

 

same the pearl white is bad *** i have it with black wheels and it looks tight with a tint

Ah, there ya go, that pretty much answers the question. I talked to the owner of the 97SH and they said it was the crystal blue metallic.....bummer.
And to the owners of the white Preludes...I checked out some pics and will definitely add Pearl White to my list of acceptable colors.

Thanks for the info everyone !
I'm sure you will see me posting more around here once I get a Prelude. I've had my GS-R for 12 years and its been a wonderful car, but I'm just looking for something a little different. I've been spending the last few years messing with motorcycles more than anything....for instance...Yamaha WR250X Supermoto !
