My new S2000!
I'm SOOOOOO happy with this car... I'm very very glad that i went through with this, and got the S2k. Its been a couple of weeks now with the car, and i haven't had the time to do a shoot, but last night i gave her a bath, and the lighting was decent, so i decided to snap off a few shots before the sun went all the way down 
Nothing much is done to it other than the shift knob and the car previously had Ground Control Coilovers on it, so it is lowered a tad.. but its nice... i'm going to leave it stock for a little while longer, and probably run it at SCCA BCC as-is in BSP... and then maybe later do stuff to it
Enjoy!

Thanks guys!
Ya, the shift knob... lol.. whats funny, is that people love to make fun of it until they drive with it. Yea, it does take a little getting used to, but for me it makes sense for two reasons...
1. Its closer to the steering wheel, and i can easily see it in my peripheral vision, so i can keep my eyes on the road/track.
2. Because of the longer throw, it increases the "Resolution"... so when you are focusing on driving your car, and hitting cones, and braking without locking up and what-not, you have a longer throw between gears, so it is VERY difficult to actually miss a gear, or shift it into the wrong gear on accident. And the s2000 throw is so short anyway, that the throw at the top of this shifter is about the same as the stock throw on my Fit.. I'm not a fan of short light-switch-throw shifters... too clunky, and too easy to miss gears with...
Sure, it looks a little funky, but thats cool to... i like things that ki8nda stand out and make peoples heads turn. Thats part of the fun of customizing a car afterall.... well, as long as its in good taste, i mean i'm not going to put 13" wire spinners on the car or anything.... lol!
