Those look so nice. My buddy has an ITR and he keeps talking about wanting a set of Spoon brakes.
Have fun this weekend. Let us know your thoughts on the Awendaw road. I may have to ride out there.

Also, I spotted a GPW AP2 at the gated Self Storage place on Dorchester Rd (near Wescott) yesterday. Looked nice. Lowered with exhaust from what I could tell.

Is there anybody who does fender rolling services around here? Preferably somebody well versed with s2000's?

I'm about to start a thread in the Carolinas section to look for somebody to do mine. I did my ap1's fenders and they came out great, but I'd rather be lazy and drink a beer while I pay somebody else this time... haha.

I know YellowJacket (Yves) has done a lot of Carolina member's cars. He lives in the upstate though. I definitely want to get mine done as well. Maybe we can get a deal for multiple cars. I PMed him.

Anyone in the Charleston area had a set of wheels professionally repainted? If so, who did you use to do the painting. At first I was going to try it myself but now I'm leaning more towards having it done right.

I have painted a lot of wheels the proper way (sanding, primer, etc.) using duplicolors rim paint and even rustoleum rattle can and have had great luck. I have fooled many people at meets with it too. But there was a significant amount prep time and work to make it look flawless.

I now realize that anecdote was of no help haha. I guess what im saying is rattle can done right isnt a bad alternative.

Im cheap.

Yeah, I keep going back and fourth with it. I might give it a try with 1 rim and see how it turns out.

Seems like the group gets active at times but then dies down as people sell there S2000s. I'm definitely down to meet up some time. What part of Charleston are you in?
