Some black s2000 Fall pictures

Thought I would throw up a few pics with some color in them. Car was polished 6 months ago with menzerna and just waxed monthly with luso oro. After perfecting my wash techniques thanks to accumulator and many others on this board the car has not needed anything other then wax. Results speak for themselves.

WOW! Those pictures look GREAT! The black looks so deep and it looks great against the orange fall setting! Now that the leaves have fallen you need to start thinking about putting that beautiful car away before the snow starts falling :( Mine just had its last hoorah with the top down yesterday and won't be out again until spring :aww:



Anyways, Great pictures! Glad you shared them!

No putting away for me...its my daily driver that sees the coldest of January days and as much snow as the Canadian winter can throw at it!





It goes from this:

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.



My Stewie is my daily driver, too. It was a choice between either getting it when I did (two years ago) and driving it as my daily car or perhaps never getting one. It was no choice at all. I wasn't getting any younger. Go with the roadster! :)

Clearly I still have a long way to go, because I instill swirls and scratches into my Luthien simply by looking at her. It's called the observer effect--quantum mechanics applied to auto paint. ;)

Has that first photo in the second series of pictures had some HDR added?

No, just shot in RAW mode, adjusted and touched up in photoshop with a simple dodge and burn layer.



To the other poster, I would DEFINITELY not attempt to drive the car in snow with summer rubber...wintersport M3s have been my tire of choice and perform very well in all conditions, even dry!

Well you have given me proof that is ok to buy a RWD car in Michigan. I see so many accidents here with people that drive crazy with RWD car with all-season tires. I just need to buy some decent snow tires ... do you have any sand bags in your trunk?

I didn't feel sand bags were needed in my trunk, as I had very good traction in all conditions. The car does have a perfect 50/50 weight distribution with the engine sitting very far back from the front though. This probably helps give more weight to the rear wheels then some other rwd cars that are very front heavy.
 
very nice. are you using any sealant in between the menz and the lusso oro? i have a rio yellow s2000 which currently sees M80, NXT, and Lusso Oro, but i'm planning on replacing the M80/nxt step with either poliseal or menz products with a sealant most likely.
