Just got done painting another Honda S-2000, I'll give some stats as we go:
Metallic red with white racing stripes and a black rag top.
Silver, painted from the inside, on the head and tail lights base.
Head and tail lights bulbs, painted from the outside giving depth and a reflection inside.
Just below head lights is an amber driving light. (hard to see in these pics)
Silver exhaust and door handles.
Every other spoke on the rims cut-out and remaining rims painted silver.

are you kidding me?
man we're like "freaky" similar. lol
nope, don't think she's gonna be a dual cell... yet...
man getting those spokes out with an x-acto knife is murder!

I'm very serious... this is freeky... Just stop...
I used a pair of long-needle nose pliers. got a good grip, a bit of a twist, and out she came. It does markup the fake chrome. I see you painted yours afterwards... I think I'm going to also.
Yes... My racing stripe was going to modeled after the Shelly Cobra, two wide solid stripes down the hood, roof and trunk.
I have too many S-2000 body, so I was using one of those...
Man-o-man....

they don't look bad, would look a lot cooler if they were 5 spokes though

yea... 5 or really open looking with 3.. Like a triangle.
take two out (spokes) leave one, take two out, leave one, take one.
(i'll have to give it a try and post a pic)

yea man, try that!
not like you dont already know, but just try to count, make sure it's gonna leave you with equal spacing between the spokes!

paint looks awesome.. you should really put some fabric on the top to give it that more authentic look.. heres a pic of an uncomplete paint job. but you can see the cloth top on my car.. i need to put some flat clear coat on it so it doesnt shine so much...
