In for pics of the Mugen conversion! I loved your car in Voltex trim, but I think the Mugen thing is more suitable for a street car. Either way, you can't go wrong. Happy you finally made a build thread, too.

Ive always liked your car since day one but both the voltex and mugen kits are a win win. Your current look is very aggressive and race car like as you mentioned while the mugen will be a little cleaner and classier. Either way its a in my book

if it's the same kit i saw on the LA CL for a while, nice score. i was wondering why it was on there for so long. cheap too.
This is the same kit you probably saw on the LA CL for a while. Im surprised no one else jumped on it being that it was new and complete.

Everyone has there opinion. Ill always love the race car look, but something about the simplicity in the mugen kit has always won me over.

Thanks man

It's like going out to eat with your friends ordering a cheeseburger with no pickles and having them say, "Look buddy, I really think you are making a mistake with this no pickles thing..."

"(a lot of other mods too but i won't bore you with them)"

Bitch please this is s2ki you can't bore me with nerdy S2000 stuff. The red Recaros looked pretty nice with the ASM side protector.
Wish i had enough money for an ASM build, Mugen build, Voltex build and Amuse build haha. One can dream . I really loved the ASM side protector on the Recaros. Not made for those seats but it fit so well and it really helped keep that area clean when getting in and out.

I don't know if i would call it a build thread, but more of a place to post pictures haha. I suck at keeping build threads.

A pet store is not a job you want haha but it'll put me through school. They were very nice to change my schedule according to every semester for school. All the Voltex aero happened when I was working full time but I didn't see a future there so I quit to finish my school.

Dude,

If the SS setup is as well executed as the Voltex (which looked fantastic), you'll have one hell-la-v clean S2K!

I'll echo the sentiments already expressed in this thread. Voltex or Mugen or whatever is cool to see, you have excellent taste and i'm sure the new iteration will come out looking awesome as well! Glad you made a build thread!

I'd also like to mention: The Mugen kit is NOT the most beautiful aero kit, but i love it. There's just something that you can't put your finger on that makes it so special. Maybe it really is the rarity? i don't know. It helps that there were no really good replicas of the kit. The ASM and Voltex front ends got SUPER played out very fast simply due to all the replicas that ran rampant in the U.S. market. I actually think the Voltex and ASM front ends are much more aesthetically pleasing than the Mugen, but again, there's just something about it. Maybe it's the rarity....or that smile...or just all that carbon haha.

Can't wait to see it in person and meet you Edgar!

I'm glad to see the switch. I'm not a giant fan of street only cars that look like serious track cars. The Mugen SS setup is an excellent street car setup in my opinion.
