Hello,

I'm planning to buy an s2000 (probably next year cause for now I'm still studying and have not enough money). I want a black s2000 with red interior, but I'm still not sure if I get the hardtop. What are the advantages/disadvantages of the hardtop? If money is not an issue, should I buy one?
Do you have any pictures of a s2000 (black/red) with hardtop? (besides the ones in the gallery at s2ki.com)

PS Do you have problems with the red interior (does it stay red or does the colour slowly vanishes because of the e.g. the sun always shining on it)?

 

If you take as much good care of the interior as much as you do for the exterior, you should not have a problem with the red leather fading off or so. Black and Red is one of the best combinations for an S2000. There are quite a bit of images on archive in the photo gallery section, you might need to do a search for posts in the last 60 days or so.

Those wheels look chrome?

 

One of King's project cars is black/red....

That's a nice car as well ... Though I don't really fancy the rims, other than which it's an amazing piece of work on the roads or the track.

 

I didn't like the Mugen rims at first, but they're starting to grow on me. I prefer the polished silver instead of the bronze. It's a good set of wheels to own since it's light, forged, and has correct offsets.

 

Thanks for the nice pics.

Some people say the s2000 loses its 'personality' when it's black. Any comments?

 

I don't think so!

 

I think the hard top looks very clean, light and attractive - and I like the idea of a removable hard top rather than a heavy retractable hard top rendering too much weight on a permanent basis. The best of both worlds

 

S2000s are very beautiful. This black one...there aren't any words to describe it. DAMN! This really is one hell of a car! NICE!


Any modifications on it?
