Yellow will get you noticed. That can be a good thing or a bad thing.

White is more "pedestrian" and doesn't jump out. It also pays homage to Honda's racing heritage. :-)

You're also comparing apples to oranges...AP1 vs AP2. I would recommend the AP2 in a heartbeat merely because it's newer. A 2001 is much older, and is likely to experience more problems.

White for pictures

Yellow for Driving

IMO

White is easier to mod as well.

Its not about ap1 or ap2 when it comes to color.
All s2k are created for a purpose to look good also.

both ap1 and ap2 are great in terms of performance, and both has its ups and downs just like everything else.

All I am asking, white or yello.
GPW is wonderful but ap2 don't have red interior stock wise unless 07+ Too much unless like one said "sale" big sale in my case.

Rio is hard to get as well and yes, more exotic, but white is the heritage and easier to match and clean (even tho white is hard to paint match also).

^^ white does wonders for pictures. By far my favorite color to photograph. You have very nice taste. Car looks great!

....
My last two sportscars were both white and I loved them!

My problem with white though is they are just so subtle on the road. Almost lose their sportiness.

I love Rio though.... It's just not an easy color to mod / photograph

Yellow was not even on my list of colors to choose from until I saw a Rio on the lot. It gave it more of an exotic feel sitting next to the other cars.
