I don't know, I think i'm the only person that's not a fan of pulling the tape. I think when the top is down, the black tape makes the windshield look so much sleeker. With a hardtop it may look better, but I don't know if I like it.

I agree with you 100% IMO one of the worst styling elements of the S2000 is the very upright windshield angle. The black tape tends to visually mimimize the upright nature of the windshield.

Removing the tape draws the eye upwards and makes it look taller and the rake steeper than it really is.

IMO the one exception is when you have a hardtop. Removing the tape looks much better in that case.

The weather stripping will settle down after a couple of days in the sun.

If you want to see some pics, go to the UK or Europe sections of this board. They come without the tape over there.
