Tan interior?...........British Racing Green!!!!!!!!!!!

Imola Orange (with green polka-dots and puce trim)..okay, the Imola orange part is serious...the rest, not so...

Please.......no postings of that orange General Lee Stewie again. I've been in therapy for months trying to get that image out of my head.

Lol i actually like the orange stewie.
Anyways, if you get black be prepared to wash your car a lot. And have swirl marks.

Chaddy, Honda spends a lot of time and money to select the colours for the vehicles they sell. They have all been chosen maticulasly to ensure they actually suit the vehicle's design. You would be safe chosing from the old or new s2000 clours, or possibly Honda's pallet.
I have seen is often that someone will chose a colour based on another vehicle manufacturer and it turns out crap.
A carefull choice will help you in re-sale not hinder ?

gomarlins3 · 01-07-2008, 07:29 PM

Whatever color you want.

I second British Racing Green, with a Wimbledon white racing stripe.

thanks you guys i was thinking orange but then wanted to go with a more expensive look than a tuner look i do like the ferrari red though... like neil said earlier take time to pick a color...

What ever ya do, stay away from the monkey poop green I've see a couple of Beemers cloaked in! Eeeeeuuuuwwwww

slowrodent · 01-08-2008, 11:39 AM

Yep... I'm 3rd on the BRG bandwagon... Tough to beat that green with a tan interior.

Pablo · 01-08-2008, 02:59 PM

On a more serious note, and I might ad, ever so modestly, from an art teacher with 35 years experience, the BRG with tan is a really nice combo. In addition,a deep blue eg: flag blue like the stripes on the US flag works as well. I'm sure you sailors out there have seen dark Tartan hulls with tan main sail covers. Ahh, how I still lust after one of those!

Best regards
Paul
