2x6,

I know that you want Rick's opinion, but I have to put in my two cents. I saw this car a while ago and my opinion has not changed...it is gorgeous. Very classy and very well done, makes it look like a different car entirely.

Yes, I saw these pictures some time ago and thought it very attractive. It's the classic leather color for roadsters. I like it a lot.

I agree Sam! The color tone varies from picture to picture. Personally, I like those that present that creamy, yellowish butterscotch color as opposed to the tan with the brown tint. I'd be interested. Maybe Townsend could take a look at these pictures.

They had dozens of hides in this color (and just about every other); several $millions in hides in fact.

great! by the way, the link from that page to the stereo upgrade seems to be incorrect- the correct link is: http://www.zigzagasia.com/cars/s2000/003/project.html
also: http://www.zigzagasia.com/cars/s2000/010/project.html
and check-out all pages in between the two!!
