Default Choices

Ive been thinking and there really is no answer to this question. I have always had a black car, and I thought I would stay that way. But when presented with the "official" color threads, it becomes unnecessarily difficult to decide. My mind was changed first when I wanted GPW. Now I still want GPW, but I also want NFR.

No matter the color I get I would most likely get Advan RS, Advan RGII, Work VS-SS, or Work VS-XX. Most likely in a gold or bronze color. But it depends on the color and wheel combination. Most defenitely I would have a Amuse front lip, and Factory HT as well as a mild drop. Later down the line Amuse would come in again with a hood, and GP Sports would show up with a Chokets Wing.

Other choice pieces would obviously make it onto the car, but I am focusing more on the color choice right now. The forum has had some great info, and has helped a lot, but I am wanting personal opinion on what people think has been overdone, thinks is sploogetastic, or just what they think looks good. Maybe some photoshop will show up later.

stuck in the same boat....black looks awesome when clean but when its dirty swirl marks and the dirt are so easily seen...silverstone is a nice balance but doesnt really have the striking color that catches someones eye, its easy to keep clean and swirl marks are not so present. I love NFR, it screams look at me and they arent so common as compared to the rest, plus cleaning and swirl marks arent so present......decisions decisions

I think the gold rims look best on the Berlina.

I'm not really a fan of white cars, but I can't deny how hot GPW looks on an S2000...

yup black is a PITA to keep looking nice. I wash mine, and by the end of the day, you can already see dirt (dust, etc) on the car!! (here comes california car duster) Also, swirl marks are unavoidable for the most part, but there are plenty of compounds that eliminate them.

Anyway, I will never regret my choice to purchase mine in BB.. my 2nd choice would be GPW.. S2K is one of the few cars that I think look awesome in white, along with the M3, GT3, RX-8
