I like how the S2000 logo on the side is in black too. They match

I have a miata (copper red) and I'm looking for a HT. I would settle for black, but only because they are scarce in the used market and I'm cheap.

I know I said paint it, but now I've changed my mind. If it were me I would settle and use that money for other mods!

The two-tone look doesn't really cut it for me, personally one solid color would be bomb.

I have a question anyone know how much weight is removed from going to a Hard top versus a soft top, and is there anyway you can make it a perminant hard top?

Ya know, I uniformly hate it when people put different color body parts on their cars (that means you, carbon fiber hood idiots), but a black top on that car looks really good. With the black RPF-1s, it will look fantastic. Keep it, save your $$$.

yeah, i really never liked 2 toned either but, that side picture looks nice. (overall car looks better in pereson). n yup some nice wheels coming soon. RPF1s are in the list! or maybe some gunmetal with a polished lip!

I had RPF-1s on my WRX. They're light as can be, indestructably strong, and look great on S2Ks. Proceed.

I love RPF1s too but if you go black top and black wheels, again the whole tire/wheel is going to look blended in..... you need the polished lip to contrast it a bit

If you do paint-match the top though, silver RPF1s will be sex! There's this silverstone-lookalike-silver RX-8 at my school that has RPF1s and it looks beautiful

wait, what?

I think you're in the wrong thread. OP went from a TL to an S2000, not a TL to a Camry.

actually, i do miss it! it wasnt as exciting to drive but, man was it a nice car! i think the TL was an incredible car to speak of. n when i hear someone looking for a sports sedan (g37, 3 series, a4, exct.) i always encourage them to test drive a 6MT TL.

like I GO TO COSTCO stated, i bought an s2000. wich for me, since the first time i test drove it, i drooled over it. i daily drive it 55 miles

i too like the black rpf1s, but black on black might look too trackish...i want some bling...whatcha think about the AXIS MATRIX??
