Got mine in January, so I can answer your question in about 5 years. As you would expect, the blue is my favorite too.

You have any pics of your car, I would like to see how the Suzuka Blue looks with tint. I haven't seen one. In fact I haven't seen a Suzuka Blue S2K on the road since I've bought mine three months ago.

I've got a GPW with Blue Interior. Had it for 2 years now, and it's seen ALOT of sun (I bought this car because I love convertibles ie. Roof Down whenever possible... unlike people who live in Florida or Socal and never remove their hardtop ) I think my interior may have faded a tiny bit, but only the seats, and only to a very faint degree... certainly not noticable if you're not looking for it.

Actually, scratch that, I just looked out the window... they're not faded at all

Just get a good leather preotectant/conditioner and use 303 on the vinyl. It'll be fine.

^ Ditto.

Only thing was the seat bolster on the driver side that got crushed down, but that wasn't a problem with the leather -- just the foam underneath. It's being replaced under warrantee tomorrow.

With regard to ownership... I was worried that I'd get tired of the look over time. Nope. Still love it.

I've only had my '05 Suzuka 7 1/2 months but I noticed the blue leather gets dull without some leather conditioner. It isn't fading, but a little Meguires makes the seats brighten up a lot.
