From Silver AP1 to White AP2
Bought my 2002 Honda S2000 last year for $8,500 with less than 80k miles. Car was from PA, i live in Rochester, NY so it was a bit of drive to get it. But it was worth it. Owner originally wanted $9500 or best offer. But since the car was "ticking", i brought the price down. I knew it was the timing chain tensioner. I changed it and everything was gravy. I really dont have any pictures of my stock silver ap1. Looks like every other one. lol... Anyways, here are some pictures of the progress.
Shaved front bumper, mirrors, antenna, rear bumper, trunk. I left the sidemarkers alone.
Fenders were also rolled.
Engine bay was sprayed black for now... I do plan to tuck it in the future.
ViS Mugen Replica hardtop.
I did the AP2 front bumper but I kept the AP1 rear bumper. I just dont like how the AP2 rear bumper looks.
Also did the AP2 front headlight and tail light conversion.
Unpainted mugen hard top sides look funny
Painted, much better (hood is open in this picture)
Currently have my 18" work vs-xx with candy red faces on it. On skunk2 lowering springs.
I have many other parts I want to throw on there. But i've been busy driving it around. Missed it too much.

Thanks!
Yea, i agree with you 100%. But I have to sacrifice the side for the rears. Those rear aprons make the back look better with the forbidden-usa rear diffuser.
Don't have a good picture yet. Busy working on too many things at once.
I was planning on only changing exhaust from Espelir JGT500 to the Apexi World Sport 2.
I found out that it was welded to the cataylst. So I had to throw on my skunk2 test pipe.
The Espelir is definitely louder. I love how quiet the Apexi WS2 is.
Extended floor mats, these are pretty cool.

Ebay front lip = fail. Fitment was banana's. Had to do it right and go with OEM.
The color of the paint job was super white. I was a bit worried that the grand prix oem white wouldn't match.
I could of painted it but it was pretty close. Super white is just a bit brighter than grand prix.
Before lip and a shot of the daily driver. DC5 recaros were a direct fit using the Bride RO Rails.
It fits good. Just can't slide the seat all the way back because of the bulky recliner knob on the recaros.
I heard you can get a slim knob but that's not a problem for me. I have the asian height.
Front lip installed. I have the downforce cf front splitter but I don't wanna put it on yet.

thanks!
Didn't get a chance to work on the car yesterday. Here are some more pictures.
Personal Grinta Perforated Leather 350MM w/ Momo Hub & a sickspeed adapter
Work wheels cost too much. They are worth it, but replicas for me from now on. I think i cried when i curbed my vs-xx.
I was going to get custom step lips but the cost of 4 lips = a full replica set w/ new tires. Easy choice.
Advan RG-D Replica's
Wilwood Superlite Big Brake Kit Front & Rears w/ Parking Brake Kit + Brake line fittings.

Almost ordered the AV-06 model. Looks pretty good as well.
I bought them off ebay a couple of months ago.
I believe black ones are harder/impossible to find now.
