Default White S2000 owners please read...

I'm in the market for S2000... and white is my favorite color so far...
But having own a white Supra TT back in 94... I remember that my supra's
bumpers (plastic, I believe) had color fading (becomes yellowish) problem
after just a bit over a year....
Does any of you have similar problems?

Thank you,

Have had mine for almost two years. Drove it in MN and now in TX. Gone from freezing cold to baking sun. No problems with any of the "plastic" parts being a different color than the body. Good shopping!

No problems here!

You have very discriminating taste!

Good Luck!

Oh, and I highly recommend getting Rick's Red / White badges!

The white you had on your MKIV is what Toyota referrs to as Super White (or Super White II). It's one of the brightest and purest whites out there, so any fading will be noticed.

I have no problems with the white color after two years in sunny Northern California. But I did have to pick up the car in Southern Ca because none were available up here at the time.

I have no problems either with parts of the car no matching, but i do notice the whole car turning a little toward pearl white, like the typeR. but maybe because i wax it every week.

Thanks guys,
IMO, white shows the lines of the car best in any light conditions which I love back when I have the
Supra tt...
And looks like that will be the color of my S2000...
