Nice pick up on the AP1, it is very hard to find them in good shape, unmolested, with decent mileage. I can only imagine what this is going to turn into with your hands on it, congrats again. O yea when are you gonna show us your recent pick up, I know it's got to be painted by now, can't keep us in the dark forever .

Congrats on the new S! I love to see what direction you go in...maybe do red with blue wheels to have the bizarro version of your current car.

Stock S2k and modded S2k is the way of the master. Always have a benchmark to go back to and see if you are making the modded car better or worse. That's why I spent so much time driving mine in stock form. I hope to do the same though and pick up a second car in the future.

Hmm. So clear bra would preserve the dry carbon weave whereas clear coat could possibly cover it...

Congrats on picking up the AP1. My wife has approved me buying a second s2k down the road so I hope to find a nice ap1 someday!
