Sean's Berlina Build
So I finally manned up and bought an s2000 the day before Thanksgiving (2012). I've owned an ek since I was 16 and always wanted an s2000. Finally had the chance to afford one. I looked for about 6+ months and checked out a couple different cars, most of which were pretty beat in the color combo I wanted. Berlina black with red interior – which seemed impossible to find. I finally found an 08' with less than 40K at a local Honda dealership. Completely stock and everything in California. So obviously it took a whole week before I bought something for it....
The pics suck at the moment but you'll get the idea. I can't find my damn Nikon D60 battery. So these are amazing iphone4 shots. Anyways. Here it is…
Nov 22/12
• Oem Ap2 front lip (painted Berlina) from Honda
• Downforce CF from lip from a member on s2ki (NIB)
• Double-sided CF top from ForbiddenUSA (Painted Berlina) Sorry, I can't afford a 6K hardtop from Mugen
• Fortune Auto500 coilovers
• Painted the v3 rims gunmetal (with palsti-dip for fun) and added red lugs and badges (Still not sure if I like the badges) I can always peel off the gunmetal too so why not.
• Blacked all the badges out including side-markers
In the garage
• J's style CF diffuser from ForbiddenUSA (Want to get an ap1 bumper I install because it looks a lot cleaner with the diffuser)
Front lip install (worst pic of all, sorry. Ha)
Coils/with drop
Rims/Hardtop
Black coats
Metal flake
After
Still Have my Hatchback too... think I might swap the Brides. ???
What do you guys think? Waiting to buy rims and exhaust now.
