Default Danderson8192's 2002 s2000 build thread

Okay so I have came from a line of owning AWD cars including a WRX and EVO, after selling the EVO i wanted to get into something a little different! So i went out and bought my 2002 Sebring Silver s2000 in July of 2011 with 81,000 miles on it. I slowly started building my AP1 from the bottom up so here is my build from day 1 and i am still continuing it!

Here is where it all began!

1st got it had work emotion cr kais


Than I added a Vis CF trunk and some ap2v1 wheels

After a while I got tired of the carbon fiber look so I changed it up.
Next it was time to get frid of the wheels so i came across some blak 17x8 +35 rpf01's so i decided to throw those on!




After changing the rims i decided it was time to get rid of tht AP1 front bumper and lip and upgrade to the aggressive look of the AP2 front lip







I than put in an NRG short hub with NRG Quick Release and a MOMO suede model 78 Shift knob!

Do you run a spacer in the rear ?? That looks way more aggressive than x8+35
