Picked up my yellow S2k last night. Always wondered what it would look like with stripes. Thanks for showing me. I'm glad you like it and happy to say that your car will continue to be the only one with stripes.

Thanks for the input guys, keep it coming. I knew some were going to flat out hate the scheme, but it is original on this car and I don't think there's another like it.

Personally, I hate CF hoods and think they ruin the lines of the car. Mostly just stick out like unpainted aftermarket parts and ricers that can't afford paint on body kits, but that's me. I'll respect a clean CF job even though it's not my style.

I know the stripes harken back to the American side of racing rather than foreign and especially not the Japanese cars. In my opinion, it's some of the nicer race badging though. All the variations on stripes from other countries just fall short IMO.

I kept my last S clean and didn't do anything to the outside. I think most of us are kinda scared to do anything too permanent on this car because it already looks so good. With this one, I had to say the hell with it, and just bite the bullet and hope it turned out good. No looking back, and no regrets. The responses are good on the most part. It's not like a put a lift kit on it
I think you did a great job - it looks sharp. I agree with you on the tacky carbon fiber hoods that look like unpainted parts. The stripes are a classic look, it's nice to see someone did it and can stare adversity in the face.
