I was looking through the photogallery and I don't see alot of custom painted S2000s. I was curious if anyone has painted one Imola Orange Pearl? I really like the color on the NSX and a friend of mine painted his civic close to Imola Orange, so I thought an Imola S2k would be cool.

 

That Orange is the same Custom color that can be ordered for JDM buyers. I think its like a $1200-1500 option over there. Honestly, if that were an option on a new model here I'd make the change. Either that or lime green

 

Japanese customers get a larger variety of interior and exterior colors for the NSX, in the US we only get a certain number of choices. So it doens't suprise me that S2000s get Imola as an option in Japan. But do you have a pic of an Imola S2000?

 

i would like to see s2000s with porsche's metallic "basalt black" paint.

 

The only custom painted one I know of is RJ Devera's car. That was the car that was in the Fast and the Furious. He painted it from black to a dark blue.

 

My 996 is painted black (metallic) and I actually think it is a pretty nice but boring color.
Well, the whole 996 is a little bit boring after all .
Of all the Porsche colors I'd choose "speedgelb", "indischrot", "orientrotmetallic" or "orangerotperlcolor" for a sportscar like the S2000, if I were to custom paint it.
"Nachtblaumetallic" is also a great color but doesn't stick out as much.
Here are some recent pics of my 996 -

 

I had a chance to drive a brand new C2 a few weeks back. Amazing car. Not a whole lot faster than the S2000, but FAR more refined. If I had the money, it would be a no-brainer.

 

Someone in SoCal had his S painted bronze; unfortunately he wrecked it at Willow Springs:

There is a guy in Seguin, TX (not on s2ki) who has his car painted the color-changing green-blue Cobra color. It also has the full Veilside kit. Very flashy, and very.... strange.
