Amuse GT1 Journey

Hey Guys,
My name is Isaac, I’ve been on s2ki for some years now and I’ve own my s2k for almost 4 years. I’ve always loved the s2000 and I knew it was going to be my first major purchase out of college. A few months after graduation I was the proud owner of an 05 Suzuka Blue Ap2. I purchased her off another s2ki member (Gigdy aka Chip) an awesome guy with wealth of knowledge.

I’ve always loved the CR s2k so I decided to swap my OEM lip to a CR lip which dramatically improved the look of the car. I know many people are not fans of it but for me it was both a nice cosmetic and functional upgrade. Hence, the below photo. This happened on 495, one of the screws the held the lip to the bumper came loose and probably doing 80 on the highway didn’t help either.
After replacing the lip, I decided I wanted power. Thanks to my good friend HMFIC (Allan) I decided on GTX30r Ptuning

Towards the end of 2014 I started to get bored with my s2k and even contemplated selling her. Until one day I had the wild idea of going widebody but not just any ordinary widebody. I wanted the best of the best. It was choice between Amuse or J’s Racing but Power house Amuse style of widebody aligns more with my taste.
I finally pulled the trigger in January 2015. I called up the good people at Bulletproof Automotive and received the kit in mid June

My man Issac, I went high school with you man, surprisingly you were a Honda S2000 enthusiast as well! I had always wanted this car when it first came out. And you are also a George Washington alumni. lol, we have quite a similar path brother. I can't help but drive the s daily and I like it relatively stock.
