As some of you know my S was damaged in the hurricane and will require a new paint job. Here are some thoughts - please give me your thoughts.

1. Refinish car to a solid pigment yellow close to Spa Yellow but without the pearl and the hassles of touching / spotting it in that come with Spa Yellow. If so what yellows are suggested?

2. Go to JDM headlights instead of USDM headlights - both got damaged and are being replaced.

3. Get rid of front H on hood and plug the holes - I like how S2Suzuka looks without them - very clean.

Watcha think?

 

Paint it factory color it will be worth more in the end

 

Paint it Factory color. If they are painting the entire car I would shave the emblem and the license plate plugs on the front, remove the S2000 on the front fenders, shave the emblem on the trunk, and paint the bottom of the rear bumper yellow. The there will be no place for wax buildup. The front of mine is done, and I may do the back when I get some other paint work done

Smooth is good

 

Smooth is good - forgot the license plate holes.

Thanks

 

Why bottom of rear bumper yellow - will have to think about that - never thought of it.

 

The only color change that I would do would be to go to the Laguna/Monaco Blue. I am so damned tempted to get an 06!!

Otherwise, stay stock.

 

it finishes off the bumper, i have seen it on a spa, it's looks great. I think Bullet, did it to his.

Never go blue - not for a sports car.

Rear bumper - playing with idea. Have list to give to bodyshop - will stop by to talk to them tomorrow AM and see if they are reasonable and do what I need done.
