i thought it was the front window frame, but his one is already black and not colour matched to the car......

yeh, it's just black tape, you peel it off and then underneath it will be colour matched.

I dont have the balls to take the tape off, if it looks crap you cant redo it. I reckon it looks great as is, and im sure it would add to the tallness of the car if the red was showing especially when the top is up.

I think it makes the car look newer or fresher, definitely makes a difference..
MAD, you are hilarious...you have the balls to cut out metal to install the lights and remove/replace the roof but you can't remove tape! haha
looks awesome regardless man

Also just picked up a Bride Ergo II with black leather, with fabric centre (no gradation) and red stiching. Oohyeah!
Just waiting on the rails. If I like the seat I will get a second to balance the cockpit. They hug like crazy, but are reclinable, and comfy. Very tight fit though, the door, and the console are fully funtioning, no rubbing etc.

Have not yet ordered them. I will be going bride rails specific to the S2000, that are bottom mount rails. I will be sourcing them from JDM yard, most likely.

I was born here, i do have middle a eastern background but I'm as Aussie as Ernie Dingo only I have a mono-brow.
Well the for sale concept is very simple, the car isn't actually for sale, the reason behind this is for making contact with the opposite sex. Its just another way of handing out your number.
I know its sad but its true, some girls are like that and will ring the number.
I remember just after the Cronulla riots i went to the beach one day and i seen a guy walking along the beach he looked middle eastern he had his number across his back in sunscreen and below it said "call me" i couldnt help but laugh at his ingenuity.
and he wasn't in-shape either.

The F20C held the record for producing the highest specific power output for any mass production naturally aspirated engine 123.5 HP/L until Ferrari released the 458 Italia in 2010, which produces 124.5 HP/L.

Back to the tape issue.
I seem to remember that on some cars the paintwork under the tape was not finished properly.
So in removing it, not only do you run the risk that youy dont like the new effect, but also the risk that the surface looks crap.
