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.
rpstl AND Mike thanks for you two bits.

I like the Free Shipping... I like the Bling... I like the fact that you can feel the difference right away....

I don't particularly care for the blue... but that can be dealt with if needed.

Thanks for the linkey too. Let me know if the Rear Tie is worth it or not.

The Cusco Rear Tie Rod is quality compared the cheapo one that comes on our cars. Though, that said, couldn't really say if I got 5 or 10 hp out of it It's bling all the way, and if your garage sits 8 feet above street level, then everyone driving by can see it just fine and I guess that makes it worth it for me. Seriously, for the price, why not. Also, for a nice (and cheap Bling), go to eBay and buy the "Powered by Honda" billet Battery Tie Down for less than $30 shipped from PageAuto.com. Nice piece and it's thicker than in the picture. Sure beats the OEM tie down (the paint peeled off mine). I bought the silver one as they didn't have blue (only silver and red) Jimmy, that red one would look great and I'll even install it for you on the 19th. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GENUINE-HON...sspagenameZWDVW
