..SSR.. Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Which one do you like? I will have RO_JA Neo 4.0 wheels in 18" silver, C-West bodykit, and a chrome plated Mugen rollcage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRG7 Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 are you repainting it because there was body damage and it needs it or just to repaint it? if you're only doing it to repaint it, i'd say definately DON'T do it. no matter what, the paint will never be as good a quality as the original paint job. since it's such a new car, it's not worth it.

optional187 Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 keep the stock color and have your body shop paint the kit the same color for you. otherwise its a dumb move to re-paint a perfectly good car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

..SSR.. Posted January 11, 2003 Author Share Posted January 11, 2003 I goofed, it's not actually knady apple red, it's Kandy red. So, how many S2000's have you seen in that color? Ok, thats what I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VR17 Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 im not much into bright color cars, in my hood if there is a bright S2000, that car would be jacked(by mostly highschool car jackers )since were not in a rich area.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRG7 Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 I guess I'm going to go with Kandy apple red. No, it's notmessed up, it's a brand new car. I just don't want it in a color that other people have. ugh, horrible idea, but hey, i'm not the one making the decision. if you wanted a color no one really has, why didn't you just by the car in suzuka blue pearl? rare color and gorgeous on the car :nod: but ahh well. regardless, i think red looks horrible on s2ks... err, on most any car for that matter, but especially horrible on s2ks, but again... heh.

..SSR.. Posted January 11, 2003 Author Share Posted January 11, 2003 On the couple S2000 forums I belong to, lots of people have suzuka blue, there is one in town in that color already........I want to stand out from other S2000's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S14Silvia Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 royal sapphire blue is not the same as suzuka blue... royal sapphire blue is a jdm supra color i'd say MAYBE 5-10 ppl have it in the country, so yeah other then custom mixing a color thats as rare as it comes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRG7 Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 dude...if you want a color that nobody has then don't get kandy apple red. everybody and their mamma has that color! :nod: also, regardless of whether no one has it on their s2k now (which is probably due to the reasoning i've been providing on how you should wait until there's damage before repainting a stock paint job, for those that are aware of it at least), when repainting s2ks becomes the thing to do, you'll see it all over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted January 11, 2003 Author Share Posted January 11, 2003 Why leave it the stock color? The stock colors are boring. About that supra blue color, it might not be the same thing, but there is a Sebring in town that is the exact same color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted January 11, 2003 Author Share Posted January 11, 2003 Plu it is going to be a show car as well as a dd/weekend warrior. I will rally want to enter it in a show when there are 1 oe 2 other S200's the same color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S14Silvia Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 its going to be impossible to find a color no one else has, someone somewhere has any color you can possibly imagine.. mmm top secret gold http://store3.yimg.com/I/jspec_1693_44010092 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuddySol Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 I wanted to get a White S2000 but the 03 models only come with TAN interior. That's a disgrace IMO. SOOO, instead of just settling for black or any other color I decided not to get a S2000...sucks. Not big on red S2s...so in the end black. To each their own on painting their car tho. IMO, black is black. Doesn't matter if it sparkles or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter if it sparkles or not. exactly... if you really want to paint your car though, just add a pearl coat to it. you won't ruin the quality of the original paint job and it won't be "stock".

optional187 Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 exactly, just because you have a crazy or original paint job doesn't mean your going to win a show. while it does set off the car to a lot of people, it doesn't appeal to everybody. if i were a judge at a show, and you spendt 10k+ on a paint job i would probably be like "so what?" but its your car. and if you want my opinion (which you don't) then i say go with that royal saphire pearl...its beautiful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
