Good luck.

When I get my Noble it will be flat black. But until then it's silver for me.

I've considered this from time to time - I think I'd go with the wrap myself--

a couple of scans from a while ago...

Flat black looks good on curvy cars IMHO. The s2k is timeless but I dont think it would quite nice. The new Genesis coupe pulls it off well.


If I could jus get past the fact that it is still a Hyundai.....

Go for it! I would try the cheapest way possible first (ie. rattle-can it!).
I've got a friend w/ an FD, he got like 4 guys together, bought a bunch of flat black spraypaint and rattlecanned the car. I was trying to get it all taped off but they just started painting, got overspray all over the place. Luckily, I got the windshield taped off pretty good and he thought to roll down the side windows so they were good, just got a little overspray on the interior.

I'll have to try to get a pic b/c I'm sure no one will believe me.

First thought that ran through my head....


"Its not a civic"

The only way i'd say "go for it" is if it was a wrap... but rattle-canning an S2000? sad.

your CRX/widebody ... wasn't it sprayed on? I remember that it looked good ... but, i'm sure not the same effect as on an S2000
