Default Candy apple red OR Rio Yellow CAN't DECIDE!!

Which color do you think would look really saucy for an S2000? candy apple red or Rio Yellow? I'm getting my can completely painted because I've been driving around with it keyed for like a year already. Anybody got pics of what an S would look like in candy apple red? any help greatly appreciated, gotta make my decision by this coming Monday. My car is ready to be painted! =) mark

Are those your only two options? If they are, I would stick with Yellow, but if not, I would look into that Copper color available on the 350Z ... AMUSE painted their S2000 that color and with the CF hood, it looks SICK!!!

Well, since it is your car, what color would you rather live with? Can you live with yelolow again or would you like a change? Candy Apple red is a nice color but it reminds me more of low riders. IMO.

Honda's Imola Orange Pearl would be a great choice. It is an OEM color in Japan and an OEM color on the NSX here in the U.S.

I'd get Rio Yellow Pearl if it were me. It is close enough to Spa Yellow Pearl that the unrepainted areas will look like a good blend, but I know I would like the Rio Yellow Pearl as much or more than the Spa Yellow Pearl.

Personally, I'd import some Moonrock.

If it's between those two colors, I would probably do the red. Having owned a yellow and red car, the cleaning of the red was easier for me.

Both colors are hot though.

Another vote for moonrock here.

Although... rio yellow would be easy for you to do since you're already spa...

I would go for Monte Carlo Blue as s2000's are not available to purchase in the US in this colour. Maybe it will be hard to find if there is no demand for it though (ie nobody needs to respray damaged panels that colour).
