The Hood being shipped to the body shop as it will be painted, not leaving it CF. Only item in transit right now is '04 Horn. If the body shop pulls the front bumper, then I'll try to do it there while the bumper is off. If not, then we'll install it on install day if my car is not in the shop. I'm thinking Evasive is being optimistic about shipping my hood early March, so it my not even go to the body shop until after the install day. I have a Cusco Rear Tie Bar sitting on my work bench, but I'm probably slapping that on this weekend.....can't wait until the 19th.
Be sure to go to Rick's Group Buy on the annodized pulley's and vote for Blue . We might have to have a special install day when he starts shipping those.....they look nice.

Blue is not the right color. Vote for RED. After all, red is the fastest color so it will have to make the engine go faster

If you're not into CF, then you need to do this: Go to Gruppe S's website http://www.gruppe-s.com/S2000/s2ksus.htm, buy 1) Cusco Type OS Front Strut Bar (polished aluminum and blue brackets) 150.00 2) Cusco Lower Front U brace (blue) 150.00 3) Cusco Rear Tie bar (silver/clear) 75.00
All in: 375.00 and free shipping. Immediate difference felt with the front lower brace and it doesn't interfere with oil changes. Strut bar is bling. Installing the rear tie bar this weekend, so I don't know on that one....probably additional bling.
