Sorry for giving you credit for the work . But whether you did it or Honda/Japan did it does not alter the fact that the red-interior picture was a photoshop of the original. Just look at the dash under the front window and you'll see that the black there does not match the red dash shown inside the door. It should all be red.

Hey flyellow, do you have any pics of the chrome kit (the S2000), and your interior that I could see. I'm interested in what the yellow interior looks like with yellow.

Looks like white is beating yellow in the voting. I'll stop by the dealership soon and check out their incoming inventory. Seems to me that silver, black, red, and blue s2k are a dime-a-dozen here in Houston (I usually spot out 5/day). I've only seen yellow on the track with the exception of the test drive I took in yellow. White must be very rare in Houston b/c I've yet to see one in person. I'm not sure about my reception to the 2002 white on full red interior. My girlfriend relishes the thought of me in a blindingly fast banana. Rats, I'm still torn between the 2 colors...

I talked to my dealer today and he told me that the white '02's are hard to come by. Silver / Black and Black / Black are coming in all the time. He also said that the all red interior is a hard sell in anything other than White.

I asked him if he's had any Suzuka Blues. He said no, that he doesn't think they have been allocated him any this year. Apparently the colors or at least the numbers of colors are determined on a regional basis.

White seems to be the rarest in any region and is very much sought after!!

I just did a dealer locate for a white one since I have access for it.

There is only one available in California and it's in Buena Park. The other 3 are still on it's ways to it's respective dealers.... One up north, one in San Diego, and one in Montclair. White is a very, very rare color.

I wanted yellow, but that was in Jan, 1999 when I ordered the color. Since it wasn't available, I went with white, with the red interior. All great sports cars have come out in white with a red interior. The S360 when it first came out and of course, the Corvette in 1953. I figured too that if you looked at from the top with the top down, it looked like the Japanese flag.

Well, the new one really looks great with the all red interior.

Here's mine, (first year).



There is a thread which has pictures of the new White/red with the all red interior and it has tempted me to get a new one!!
