Default Can't decide...

Okay, I have been losing sleep over something stupid as my (non s2k) friends would say.

Everyday at work i stare out my window and watch my car for a good half an hour sometimes, trying to make up my mind....

Here is the story

Idea 1
I want to paint my hardtop white. get my front grill done, with white Mesh. To make the long story short, i wanna paint my whole car white and get some nice racing blue/silver wheels which will go with my level mirrors. I also wanna paint my calipers white.

Idea 2
On the other hand, i wanna keep it white and black like how i already have it set up. Get an eibach kit, get front Grill done with black Mesh. Powdercoat the CR wheel black, paint my calipers black(or white.. anyone thinking white?).


Throw your ideas in please... let me know which idea you like a little more. Also if you have your own ideas, bring them up please.

Eibach.
White HT if you have the money now.
Black front bumper mesh.
Black PC wheels.
White calipers would look sweet for the first 2 weeks before they turn brown from the brake dust.

well getting Eibach put in is only about $200 cheaper than painting the hardtop... I can only do like 1 thing each a month or two. Should i go with whitetop first then Eibach later? I dun want my car looking nerdy waiting for a project after another. i want the complete look after each projects.

if you're going to do mesh i would definitely not do it in white, but in any case
i think mesh is kind of cheesy.

dropping your car will make it look better all around IMO. the s2000 is plenty low
already but bringing it down a bit further definitely completes the look.

are you daily driving your car, btw? as much as i love my lowered car i would
HATE to drive it everyday like that...

normally i'd say no to the white hardtop thing but i know all the new cars are coming
without window tape so i definitely say do that. maybe even do that before the drop...

i dont know, im just rambling. if you decide to get springs and/or suspension i'd
be more than happy to help you do it so you can save some cash on the install!

best of luck.

Stock springs on KONI yellow. Bottom perch.

Spend $$ on shocks not springs.
