You've got too much money to spend. Wish I could say the same.

it may seem like I have a lot of money to spend, but I actually have a budget set for this build. I am able to reduce a lot of the build costs by ordering all my parts through 1 vendor and most of the labor through another shop. yes the up front costs are huge but I have calculated that I will have saved over 30% by doing everything at 1 time. ive also not had a personal car for 2 years so saving money for this build was easy.

its hard to say whether the header itself has any noticeable gains because I added the header, air filter, throttle body, HFC, and timing correction gear all at once. but I can tell you with all of the mods added its a night and day difference.

ill have dyno results after the hondata tune so you can see how well they preform.

cant go wrong with either. the pads are cheaper than the AR so i would get them now and save for the AR. at least you will have 1 item out of the way. all about instant gratification.

I love aftermarket mirrors on the s2k but see no reason to go to something like the M-Racing ones that require you to weld up the existing holes in the door. Just get the Craftsquare ones and call it a day. That's my favorite setup especially when they are color matched to the car.

Gutsy moves on the body! Was nice talking to you the other day, looks like a long thought out plan, did not know you were going composite body panels.
