I have yet to see a White S2K in person. Is the white a Pearl White similar to the 5th gen Ludes (or even similar to ITR's) or is it that pure white like the civic's?
Thanks for any help boys...

As a previous itr owner and a friend of a guy that has a 5th gen white lude I can say the colors are not even close. My S has no flake in the paint and its white as snow.

bobby,
thanks for the info. So which color do you prefer, the ITR's white or the S2k's white. BTW, I too just sold my ITR and am awaiting my stook. I honestly love the off white of the ITR and do not like the civics white at all...
That being said, am I gonna hate the white stook???

My stook is white, no pearl in it. It is a very bright white. The paint quality is way better than the Corvettes I recently owned.

Not a pearl white, a "fleece as white as snow" white. FYI, from time to time, it can get vertical streaks of off-white, mabe from water run-off. Simple Green has been very effective at getting rid of these and other tough to wash spots, keeping the white white.

pnty drpr,
Ahhh...Your white lady is beautiful, especially with the cleared out signals. The red H's also look good but they must of got ripped off my ITR about 1/2 a dozen times and always aggravated me..needless to say I'll probably refrain from that addition. Once again thanks for the pics, simply beautiful.

"Grand Prix White" has no pearl in it. It is unique to the S2K and is used on no other models. For a full view of colors and options in the three S2K markets (i.e. Japan, North America and Europe/Oceania) go to https://www.s2ki.com and click on the Japan flag. From there scroll down to a link called "colors". This will also give you the proposed new 2002 colors (which rumor has it will not be exported to the states).

I noticed my 2000 S2000 white is obviously whiter than my 2000 Accord. Brighter.

My 911 turbo(930) was grand prix white
I didn't have them both at the same time to do a side by side but the colors look the same to me.
