S2KiChad

I joined S2Ki back in 07 while i was high school dreaming that one day i would be able to own one. at the time there was no way i could afford one. fast forward four years later, the price of the s2000 was more obtainable for me. I purchased my03 a few years ago and to start off 2014 I would like to share my build and experince with s2ki. I want to start off by thanking my girlfriend Amanda, My Parents, Felipe (bouford), Mike (s2ksi8), Justin, Kevin, Evasive, Gotuning, Ballade Sport, Puddymod and s2ki for the help/influence in my build.

I First fell in love with s2000s watching all the Hot Version Touge Series (Amuse R1 vs J’s), which made me set on buying/building S2000. Before I bought my03, I envisioned having a spoon theme S2000 with function in mind. Some of my inspiration came off other members such as AP_ONE, xplicitremix, Vinz86, and Doh which most of them parted way with!

Just want to apologize in advance as this is my first build thread and for bad quality camera phone pics

2011 when I first got my03 stock with ugly tint!

Browsing on S2Ki I found a great deal on bnib Authentic Spoon S-Tai Bumper that I couldn’t pass up! Thanks Felipe for helping me get it here to Hawaii
