Regarding the paint code, I know George (and a number of others) have stated that it is Solaris Silver and this apparently matches very well. My personal finding was that the colour, at least for the '00 ITR, is Kaiser Silver and although I don't have the code at the moment, any dealer should be able to provide it over the phone. Incidently, I obtained this information from an Acura dealer when I inquired about replacement center caps. The caps were listed in the computer as "Kaiser Silver", and for what it's worth, the colour matched perfectly when I had my caps repainted using that code. Whether or not Honda actually used two different colours (one perhaps being Solaris) for the '00 and '01 wheels is something I'm not certain about, but it's definitely possible. I do know that when I examined the '01 wheels, the finish was distinctly different from my '00's, specifically in the texture on the sides of the spokes.

As for the danger of installing HID's, I think the concern is most likely related to the extremely high voltage that the ballasts can deliver, and the risks associated with that. However, following normal electrical safety procedures should be perfectly sufficient.

BTW - How's my spelling George? :goodjob:
