Not normally being a fan of "show cars" I must say that you guys did a gorgeous job on the RSX. Can't wait to see how the S progresses, too...

Thanks! I'm not a big fan of most of them, either. Flourescent colors, a billion stickers, fart-cans, altezzas, cheap heavy-ass wheels sporting the cheapest tires... :sigh: Someone has yet to explain to me why you need a set of racing buckets and a 4 point harness in a car with 115 horsepower on a good day... :dunno:

The goal with the S2000 is the same as it was with the RSX - have fun doing it, and focus on performance and handling.

I think that's why I like the RSX...you and I have the same philosophy. Clean job in every respect.

I agree with your thoughts on the three indents in the side skirts for the S, too. They just make the lines busy.

Depends on the timing of HIN this year (I heard it was March). We're taking off for St. Lucia to get hitched on 2/25 and won't get back till 3/7 or so (which is the reason the S2000 hasn't gotten done as fast as I wanted - weddings and honeymoons are @#$^ pricey!!!). I hope to have the stereo wrapped up, the kit, hood, wing and exhaust on by then, but we'll see... the hood's hella expensive.

I know we're clear starting in April (barring tax day) - by then I hope to have the SC on the RSX as well so she'll stop giving me crap about my car being so much faster than hers.

I just wrapped up the dry-fit of the bumper. Damn near perfect... factory mounts, no stress cracks, no chips... the back skirt pic doesn't do it justice - there's a small CF diffuser that attaches to the underside of the rear lip that I couldn't get to stay put without mounting it up. Here's a few more pics...

P.S. I'd post a few pics of the the "new" rear on the other "her", but she lurks here, and after six months of damn near daily training to prep for the honeymoon, she can inflict some serious pain

What RSX is that? Is it a blue one with a kit and wing? It was dark and I saw it from a distance once...

I don't go out much on weekend since I work Sat - Mon, and since I'm saving for my mods for the spring I been a cheap ass lately (gas is expensive now!)... And I definitely won't be taking it out now with this weather...
