OP, at 33k mi your car is too new to be anything but stock!

My credo is don't replace it if it doesn't need it, but when it needs it, go with the best option. My S was stock until it was about 50k mi and things started needing replacement. Everything on my car that isn't stock is because the OEM part needed replacement, with the lone exception being the shift knob, but that was a usability improvement.

I could swear a CR lip on your car isn't constituted as your car being stock anymore as its not a limited edition CR. LOL

Stock, no stock... no biggie, Has anyone here really use all the OEM stuff, like OEM tire, OEM oil, OEM Filter. OEM fluid....

Kevin, i know you don't use the HMTF for your transmission, so you are just a little bit less of the "OEM" guy Lol

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being stock or modified. Everyone has their own way of making their car unique, something to call their own. Nevertheless, we all made the right decision, and that was to buy an S2000!
