Argh.. cant decide on color!
Im planning some major modifications to my S2000, and on top of the list is a color change. I sort of purchased this car at 1st just for a DD, so I wasnt picky at all when purchasing one, I had just found the one with the lowest miles and in the nicest shape for the cheapest price... and of course that usually equals the most common color, which seems to be silver for these cars. Now that Im wanting to make it "mine", I want the color car I really like. I was thinking of selling/trading mine in on a newer one (04-05) in the color I want, but I think that may be dumb, when I could just repaint the car I have. Anyway, I just cant decide between red and black. Ive always owned black sportscars, and IMO sometimes nothing looks meaner than a newly polished/waxed black car, but something about the way the S2k looks in red I just love also, especially with black accents, such as a black HT and lip. Its been bouncing back and forth in my head for weeks, and its such a hard decision to make. Not really looking for anyone else to make my mind up for me, but Im sitting here bored and thought I could use some other opinions. Also, is there only one color of red offered on the S2k? NFR (new formula red). Ive been searching pics and it seems like the shades vary so much, I know red is a hard color to photograph nicely and its hues can change alot, but just making sure there arent more than 1 color Im looking at.

Go NFR! 
Red w/ black accents are sexy.
Or you could go with the Ferrari Red. I dont exactly know what kinda red it is tho but looks really good.
My only choice if I had to repaint coming form a silver would be NFR or Ultima Red>Rio Yellow>Electron Blue Pearl>Imola Orange> other.

I'm not sure about repainting it.... you have to consider diminished value unless you plan to keep the car for an extremely long time. The diminished value could offset the price difference to just sell the car and get the color you actually want.

I wouldnt paint it just based on the diminished value of the car.
If you want to make it yours, fine a nice front bumper, cool decklid or spoiler, some nice wheels, and maybe a BBK.
If you figure what PROPERLY prepping and painting a car costs, you'll probably come out ahead or at least break even cost wise. And you'll have a car that should sell for more to the right buyer if and when you decide to sell.
