GPW was my first choice when I was shopping for the CR. Except it was impossible to locate one due to limited production of them. So I had to settle with ABP.

Would've loved an IOP or LBP but couldn't get it so.

Arrest Me Red was next. I have a love/hate thing with it. I must say after this experience I do not want another red car ever.

Silver, White, Suzuka blue, then Yellow in that order. Anything dark will always be harder to take care of. So stay away from reds, blacks, dark blues, ect.

When buying used color should be your last priority? You want a car that has been cared for and will continue to give you great service.

If you find a good car in the color you like then good, otherwise don't let go of a nice car just because the color does not appeal to you.

Really, I would've picked the Apex Blue over any other color if I was to get a C/R. It's the only color available that you can get that is not available on any other S except the C/R. A really special color...Plus super rare since it's a C/R only color. Probably one of the rarest S2000 colors available. Plus that color is the tits!!! LBP is my second choice and GPW is my third and last(but way too many of them available since it was available since the car was released). I don't like being like every other S2000 on the road...That's why I got once of the rarest colors available back in '07(before the C/R was released).

Spa yellow
*********
PROS:
Girls love this color. Head turner, specially w/ top down. Good for lots of attention. Dropped, wheels and a roll cage make it look extra special, maybe more the the other colors.

CONS:
"Officer, please pull me over, I love tickets and have illegal mods under my hood"


Berlina Black
***********
PROS:
Looks sick as hell w/ any color wheels, specially GOLD Advans
Matches your soft top or CF hard top better than other colors. All naked carbon look is naturally better w/ this color. Good chick color too.

CONS:
Takes volume away from the body at night, makes it look like a roach and gets dirty easy. Scratches on paint are way more noticeable.


New Formula Red
**************
Im not sure how I feel about this color


Grand Prix White
**************
PROS:
Best S2000 color out there White as well as silver are the legendary and original race car colors. Simply looks amazing and clean. Looks even better as you add exterior mods. Bird crap is less noticeable.

CONS:
Doesn't look as good in low light or at night. Exterior needs to be constantly spotless to look its best.


Silverstone
*********
PROS:
Third best color for the S2000 because of its neutrality and good looks day or night, rain or shine. Makes the car still look good on OEM wheels. The most used racing color back when racing began (Silver). Any other external mods compliment it nicely and neutrally.

CONS:
Most S2000's you see are Silverstones Doesn't say nothing special.


Sebring Silver
************
PROS:
On some angles it looks close to white.

CONS:
Worst S2000 color. Boring. Hyundai-like. Makes it look cheap. No other way to describe it. Chrysler has a car named Sebring. Its not dark, its not bright... its its... ahhh forget it.


Suzuka Blue Pearl
***************
PROS:
An original, social and soft color. Almost rare as GPW now a days but far from nice as such. Good chick color. Ideal color to add a bike rack, tow hook or any other item that indicates that you did not buy an S2K for performance driving.

CONS:
Always makes you look like your headed to the Spa or to buy groceries. Cops will never pull you over in it even if you burn-out or do a hit n' run in front of them.


Laguna Blue
**********
PROS:
Second best color. As close to VTEC BLUE as it gets Looks amazing both day and night, mods or no mods. Easy to achieve the 'hard' look by just dropping it a few inches. Only S2000 color that still looks good w/ white brand decals anywhere.

CONS:
Cant think of any?
