Sucker for the OEM stuff. Could not resist the cover. It is an excellent cover and tasteful. My only complaint is that it leaves behind some lint on the convertible top.


The S2000 cover is a lot more subtle than the Mustang world. Not sure I would have ticked the cover option on the Mustang order form if I saw it first. But it fits nice and is really high quality.

I replaced all the interior lights with LED lights. Bought this kit from Amazon.

Lack luster results. They were not as bright as I was hoping for. One of the bulbs snapped on install. Also remember that the bulbs need to be installed with the right polarity unlike the original bulbs.

I think this worked well.

looks like you have a gap around the headlight where the bumper and fender connects. Make sure you have the bracket. Car looks pretty clean already.

Yes, there is definitely something wrong with the fitment of the front bumper. I am going to take it off to put the clear lenses in the headlights. Hopefully I can figure out what is wrong when I do that. Where is the bracket you are referring to?

I can almost guarantee that the bumper stiffener is missing. Every time I took my car to the body shop, they forgot to put it back. Part is 71105/6-s2a-000

Installed new hood gas shocks. A welcome edition as I work on the car I don't need to keep putting the hood prop on.

Installed goodridge stainless steel brake lines. One rear corner is still fighting meet on loosening the hardline. Even with the proper brake line wrench.

Started the process of replacing the amber turn signal diffusers with the clear ones from JS2K. JS2k Clear Lens. I noticed that the heat of the headlight was bubbling the paint. So I will need to repaint the surrounds.


You can see one of the paint bubbles here:
