Few random pictures, put OEM bumper back on because my work parking garage sucks, swapped tires and ran TE's on driver side and CE's on passenger side for fun... Few other misc pics. Then I bought an extra bumper with CR lip from my local buddy because he switched to an Amuse Legalo bumper....

I regretfully got to ride in my buddy's 07 White AP2 with OEM hardtop, and that pretty much sold me on the concept of getting a hardtop for my car. Ironically, when I originally bought my car, I was very adamant on not getting a hardtop because I didn't believe I needed one. I (at the time) much preferred to drive top down, and was deadset on not getting a hardtop. Fast forward to 6 months of ownership, and that ideology completely changed and I really wanted to acquire a hardtop. I originally debated between getting an OEM top, or a Ballade carbon OEM top, or just a cheap replica Mugen top, but in the end, I found a great deal on a silver OEM top, and made a quick (it wasn't that quick) drive to Portland to pick up this silver OEM top from Bo.

Hello!
After an unfortunate accident to my previous S2000, I had vowed to eventually come back to the chassis, potentially picking one up later on if the timing was right. After owning an FRS and an E36 M3 for the past 3 years, I decided to get into another S2000 after some convincing from Fernando and friends. I searched around for awhile, hoping to fall upon a GPW example, but the stars never quite aligned, and I didn't quite find the white car I was looking for. This lead to me searching around for other colors, which brought me to this MY05 NFR AP2 owned by a friend's brother who was looking to part with the car to purchase a BRZ so that he could have a little more room for his daily.
The car ended up being a 2005 New Formula Red S2000 with 62k~ miles. It had been previously lightly modified, but was parted out before I bought it, and the only remaining parts were a Tanabe Medallion Touring exhaust, a K&N FIPK intake, and a set of Buddy Club N+ coilovers. With an OEM AP2 lip and trunk lip, along with key hole covers and license plate holes, I was pretty stoked to find that I wouldn't need to source a new OEM lip for the car.
I have yet to take any pictures of the car yet because the car came with AP1 wheels... And I despise AP1 wheels with a fiery passion. My initial stage of modifications will mostly be me cleaning up some loose ends and light minor mods. While my mind has a plan for parts and a really grand idea for the end setup of the car, my wallet won't quite be able to cooperate as of yet, so things will probably be pretty minor, especially with my girlfriends insistence that I save money for our trip to Japan in April...
More pictures and updates incoming when it stops raining in Seattle... maybe.

*cries in vietnamese*. I miss it periodically, but I just live vicariously through Cody nowadays.
alas: here's a picture of probably my favorite phase of the car. cr front, ce28's, crafties, color-matched top/windshieldframe.
