I like it when the frame is black. Especially with a black softtop or hardtop. It also reminds me of a blacktop NSX-R and it makes the car look lower imo.
I love the painted windshield frame with a colour matched hardtop. I removed my factory black vinyl in order to have my windshield frame match my hardtop. With a black hardtop I think a black vinyl windshield frame looks better, if you have a buddy who does wraps, they could do it pretty easily for you, rather than buying Honda vinyl.
No, also in Europe. Basically every S you see with a black window frame is wrapped in vinyl.
Guess I must have missed that, I probably never really payed attention to the windshield frames.
Now that you mention it, it does make the car look lower. But so will my KW set once it's installed

I think you're right, the black windshield frame would indeed look better with the black hardtop on my car. But I'm only using the hardtop for winter months, and I think I like the frame better in orange when I'm driving around with the roof down. Tough choice

I know exactly what you mean, and you are right it is a tough choice.
Probably the last picture with the RPF1 wheels, I'll put them up for sale in a few days/weeks. A local guy is selling a set of wheels I have always loved and now is my chance to own them. Just one problem, he wants to find a new set of wide/low offset wheels for his car first before selling so I'll have to be patient.
Tried the black emblems, they're 'tweety approved'.
The car also passed yearly inspection after changing the exhaust/wheels/steering wheel back to OEM, changed them back to aftermarket again the very same day.
And Enkei RPF1 wheels are officially for sale now, hope they will go soon so I can order a few more things I want for the car.
Next up, refurbishing my OEM 2005 wheels, installing KW kit, new brake discs and pads and driveshaft spacers.
So do I, I never really thought about selling my white Civic Type-R for an S2000 until this one came up for sale.
I also like the yellow ones a lot, but we already have another yellow Honda so it's nice to have something in a different color, GP white would've been my first choice I think but we don't have this color in Europe. Only the pearl white/gold looking color which imo isn't as nice.
Ordered my steering wheel from the Evasive Motorsports website, not cheap (especially with shipping and import duties for us) but it's worth it, it's my second one already.
First one was a J's deep dish, which isn't that interesting with a hub and snap off because I couldn't reach the turn signal stalk.
Edit: We do have Grand Prix White in Europe, but was only available on the 2009 Ultimate Edition S2000 which is very rare unfortunately.
Small update, was about to refurb the original 04-05 V1 wheels when a set of V3 wheels came up for sale from a nice guy in the UK.
So after an 8 hour road/seatrip I'm the happy new owner of 'AP2V3' wheels I'm waiting for someone to buy my V1 wheels now, once they have sold the V3 wheels will get a refurb and new tires + my new set of CR lug nuts to go with them.
