IMO you can't go wrong either way. Seems like the beauty of the S2000 is you almost have to try to make it look bad in order to achieve the results. Some cars would look attrotious mixing and matching colors, not so.

Grats either way.

it will look cleaner and flow well with it white
but going by the mods in your sig, youv got some aggresive race rims and a carbon hood, youv got the race look down, so a black HT whould look real
good and flow well with the current mods you have

Well if it's just painted black, stick with the matching white hard top, but if it's carbon fiber leave it carbon fiber (but it isn't) soooo leave it white, those are my thoughts.

if you have a cf hood w/ dark rims, i'd say black. just be sure to have the black windshield tape to match. white is tight!

Thank you Guys! You helped me a lot!

Seeing the poll results, I think it's a pretty clear thing! I decided, that the Hardtop will be painted black, or covered with genuine carbon fabric to match the hood an trunk. Thus also because the Windshield frame was already painted black.
At least white paint is out of that run fop now!
I am working on my S every evening since last week to build it up again. I hope that I will finish next week, since the Spring finally found introduction also here in Switzerland after a very long winter break!

The Hardtop must still wait somewhat, I must still clarify a few things first...

Here you can see the progress...pic taken last night:



Still waiting for some parts comming from Japan, but oh well, I can allready try a roll out next week without those parts


*can't wait*
