yellow only belongs on four cars in this world:

1. Lotus Esprit or Elise
2. Any Ferrari
3. Any Lamborghini

Clearly you haven't seen the new Rio Yellow Pearl on the S2000






If you gotta go yellow, that color is dope.

The pics don't do it justice. It is a metallic paint and under the right lighting really shows well.

Yes I also don't think yellow would look good on our cars, they are too big. But if you gotta go yellow... Rio Yellow Pearl

I'd really like to own a yellow car someday, but it has to be the right car to pull it off.

The S2000 looks great in yellow. I'm a big fan of the speed and signal yellow on porsche 911s (and tangerine).

Here's some 70's colors for ya (on porsche 914s):

Sure I can do it when I get home. I'll do it on my stock CL-S and post it in the PS forum in a few hours.

Go with an even darker blue. Try to find an old Ford Probe, around '93, in the midnight blue they came in, use that color.

The light blue of the S2k is also very nice in person, but it could be mistaken for silver....

PINK! That's .






























I like dark colors so any dark color that's metallic but that's just me.

If you want hot colors you're options are S2000 yellow, 2F2F S2000 pink, or
FF Eclipse green.

get the s2k yellow, that's a sick color...

seriously if you want to be different, yellow is the way to go. and just cuz the majority of cl owners don't want to have their cars yellow doesnt mean you can't have the rare yellow cl.

just as easy to post here...except.... there's something wayyy wrong with the red balance on my monitor. It made a flash & pop last week, ever since then the colour has been wrong. So what looks yellow on my screen may be vomit green on yours.



other shade yellow
