Even bone stock they are pretty I wanted GPW at first, but looking through ads i saw this one for a good deal. I was still afraid of yellow but when i saw it in person i was sold! The yellow shows the lines a lot better than GPW, and isnt as hard to maintain as black or red. Banana ftw!

Congrats!!! Having owned a red one and 2 blacks, I like my Spa the best, it shows more of the lines of the car and does get noticed and I get lots of compliments.

Congrats to a fellow spa owner

In all honestly, all the pics I've seen cant capture how the car really looks in person. That whole pearl effect to it is what got me.

And for one with rpf1's, here's a pic:

and my old AP2v1's

Congrats! Lets see some pics. I was sorta looking for Rio when I was in the market, but couldn't find one that met my search criteria (mile, year, price, etc). In the end I got what I'm pretty sure I was looking for all along (whether I knew it or not), GPW with tan. Wouldn't change that decision for anything. This is probably my favorite picture of it. Sorry for whoring

Lookin good! And ya When I saw the Spa in person i was sold as well. Nitewing those rpf1's look amazing, those are the wheels I want. But fitment issues, and the fear of poping my paint if I have to roll fenders is keeping me away....

To me Yellow is not only the hardest color s2000 to mod nicely, but also the hardest to photograph.

Yellow is also the worst color for choosing aftermarket rims.

In person though I think it stands out quite nicely next to other s2000's. I love black as well however they look great in pics... dirty on the road.

White is one of those colors that is perfect for modding.

All that being said I love my rio!
