IMO sports need colored interior. Black is just the regular look, doesn't look superior, doesn't look inferior.

However sports DO NOT look good with tan so I dont know where they went with that one.

I also do not see why some colors get certain colors. When you buy the car, you should be able to select the interior, regardless of exterior color.
A lot of historic European sports cars had tan interiors. IMO tan looks great w/ red and dark green, but not with other colors.

black interior in a sports car to me says "i don't care about being flashy, pretty or bling, let's just get down to the business of driving". very purposeful color w/o any ambivalence about its intentions.

having said that, if honda offered the baseball mitt colored leather (that's available in porsches and the audi TT), i would jump on it.

Our silver miata had tan seats and top, and i thought it looked great. But i think it would look weird on an S2k, just my .02 cents. Our spa yellow would look strange with any color besides black

Tan is not so bad and many sports cars come with it. I do wish we had more options with just the four colors Honda gives us. The tan only interior on the leather Miatas is a practical choice since it is much cooler (temperature). Tan looks good to me with almost any exterior colors except light silver (no flame intended) and yellow (obvious).

Actually 93% tint is hardly any tint at all. Tints are rated by the amount of light they let through, not the amount they block.
with 93% i meant 7 % visibility

everyone judges tint diff

i got 7% vis on back/sides.. and 50% vis in windsheild.. FL kicks ass

altho i love my '00 silverstone/red , it's always felt a bit cavelike...[when i bought it in '99 there was no choice of colors; you took what the dealer had or waited for a really long time..] anyway i recently picked up a mid '70s 308 with a tan interior...tan everywhere but the dash top which. as explained ,needs to be black....tho the car is only a bit roomier than the honda it seems way more roomy and feels less confined..i think if honda offered a light interior color on the hardtop it would help...as i recall old 356 coupes had very light colored headliners no matter what the interior color...even the ragtops had a tan color on the inside with black on the outside. and don't get me started on finding the s2000 key slot at night....

You have tint on your windshield? Do you mean just the top 6 inches, or the whole thing?

Florida's got some crazy-lenient tint laws. I'd be wary of full frontal tinting.
