Hi Metula. Bob was posting about the US. Unfortunately, Honda sees fit to severely limit the color options exported stateside. Wicked bummer for those of us who love Silverstone, and Monte Carlo Blue...

(please, don't make us jealous )

I have a feeling the taped windsheild feature may be limited to the US too.. I know a fair number of S2K owners here in the UK and none of them had tape...

Metula,

That's a very interesting theory. The mouldings are clearly applied with the tape already on, which I think implies that the tape must be applied at the factory. So, if you're right, that would mean the factory applies tape to only US-bound cars. Weird.

I don't know. I think I'm done guessing about the motive behind the tape. If I ever make it out to Tochigi, I'll have to ask 'em.

Thanks Bob.

Don't worry about it. The sylverstone really looks good without the tape. I'm going to think about it.....okay. I taking the tape off.
