Glad my Rio Yellow 09 did not have that tape. Make it look like a bumblebee with the top up.
For those with the tape and are going to remove it, may I suggest using a heat gun (hot air) to help in the tape/adhesive removal. May have to use cloth glove to protect from burns.

You're welcome. Glad to see this thread is still relevant after 11 years! Any bets on whether the next S2000 will have windshield tape?! I would *love* to know whose bright idea that was in the first place.
(I know... Stop starting rumors, Chazmo.... "next S2000," indeed!!!

I have a 05' Silverstone with an OEM hardtop. I also have the tape on the windshield. Since our hot summer days are almost at an end, and I just stumbled across this thread, I'm going to remove the tape next summer. I truely hope that the paint underneath is in good shape. I'm also hoping there won't be too much of a color difference. My S2 has aways been garaged, so I'm praying! Thanks to everyone for all their posts, knowledge and encouragement!

I am 100000% doing this ASAP, why on earth they would put shit black tape on the windscreen has me puzzled.

Hmm, I hope my paint is on alright shape, it's an 03 but has been very well taken care of. I'll never get a hardtop, but the soft top is rarely up and I think it looks way better with the paint. I need rims and someone's ad had it so I asked and ended up here. Plan on doing this in the spring when I put on all my other goodies.

Mine is an 07 and the paint was scuffed underneath the tape. I'll also say that it's an absolute bitch to remove the tape when the weather is cold. Wait until it's as warm as possible before you even attempt it.
