Hi All,
I'm new to this forum as I just purchased a 2000 Honda S2000. My friend gave me an amazing deal on the car ($9000!) as it needs a new top and has very faded black paint. My wife has always wanted a S2K and I've always loved these cars too. I love the 9000RPM redline and that they are built in small batches alongside the NSX. I'm hoping the S2K will help me get over my Yamaha R1 which I sold when I got married.
My wife is an great driver, and she drives my '96 Porsche 911 amazingly well.
As it will be mainly her car, and neither of us want a black car in SoCal, I told her she could pick the color. She's a natural redhead with green eyes, and green is her favorite color. No use arguing with a redhead!
According to my research, the S2K was never available in a green color. She loves the sage green metallic as seen on the new Lexus IS350:
Honda has a similar color for the CRV and Element called Green Tea Metallic:
I'd really like to choose a more subtle green color, more like silver metallic with just a hint of green. Any ideas? Is green just WRONG for an S2K?

well I remember seeing a green 2000 s2000 for sale in florida....I really want it too but could not travel to florida to pick it up. Here it is in Honda Element Green.
It not that bad...AP2 goodies would make the car look so much better though.

If you must go green, I'd stick w/ the Honda factory color. They didn't sell it in the US, but it was available in the UK and maybe other places.
Lime Green Metallic
