Slig: 09 carpet and 04 carpet is same on driver's side but passenger side below the seat is slightly different due to the air bag sensor is my guess. Not sure if it's a big difference or not noticeable....

The Radio door is actually done, it's in the paint shop being shot with gloss black to blend in with the smoked plexi door. It was 10x more work than I iniatially though so not going to make more as the labor easily exceeds what most people want to pay I'm sure.

Yup yellow scheme but this time more white with yellow as the accent color

S-badges are from Ricks2k site, look so much better than stock. The front end is now done but have a lot to work on the rear end. Hoping to get my GPW trunk swapped with a clean no spoiler trunk soon.

LED's fit just fine around the license plate with a bit of trickery!

UPDATE: 5/21/10

Happy Friday guys, this past weekend I got married so the s2000 took a backseat with all the planned festivities. My fiance actually wanted to use the s2000 as our wedding car but since it was far from completion we decided to use the NSX and had it all decorated with flower!

Many of you have asked about the radio door and this task was a lot harder to do than what I initially planned. Had to spray two coats of primer and had this thing wet sanded before final jet black paint was laid on the finish. The orignal idea was to have the radio be visible when on through the smoked plexi window. I will try to get this installed next week but here's the finished product before we do the swap into the radio frame.

The shiny Honda badge just sets the car off... anything less (Ricks S, or the side badge S) looks cheap and ricey IMO.

Congrats on the wedding, looking forward to seeing this project come together.
