I took some shots of all the current badge color choices side by side to help those of you who are having a hard time. They're all on my silver car. In the next run we'll be discontinuing the silver on silver and silver chrome on silver and adding true black on silver, red on silver, black on red. Hope this helps all of you having a hard time chosing a color combination.

From left, red on black, silver on red, and silver on black.



Second set, yellow on silver, silver chrome on silver, and silver on silver.



Some other shots from different angles.





No, all of those badges are not permanently attached to my car .

Rick,

Are you going to do Yellow on black on the next run?

We're debating yellow on black at the moment. We're concerned about the bumble bee look that some yellow owners have pointed out.

The yellow on silver seems hard to see. Yellow on black may work better.

Jeffrey..my 2 cents

Rick, I LOVE the examples you are providing here - especially ON the car. Now...gotta get some more examples from red's too! (no one really cares what it will look like on black, white or yellow, right? ha!)

James and I will at Lime Rock over Memorial Day weekend where we'll be meeting up with a bunch of fellow owners, so we'll get a complete set of shots of the badge choices on all car colors.

Nice pics. A great way to show the badges. A few questions: Is silver chrome on silver still available? When will the new combo samples be posted? When will the new combos be available? Will the wheel and steering wheel badges be in the same variety of colors? Will I ever grow tired of my S2K (now with 20,000 miles on it)?

Dave (I actually know the answer to the last question: No, never, impossible!)

Silver chrome on Silver badge is still available.
Steering wheel and wheel badges will be the same variety of colors.

One other thought. No matter how hard we try, we can't get pictures that capture the real quality and visual impact of the badges on the car. They look much better in person!
