So I have finished the first round of mods on my car. Pretty basic, nothing like what the big guns
here have done, but a step beyond what it was. No, I haven't done rims/tires. I figure if the Honda
techs went so far as to have a version of the s02 custom-made, they must have had a reason.
The most functional - the garage door remote wired to the high beams. My favorite - the Painted
headlights; I don't like them on all colors, I couldn't find any pics of them in Suzuka Blue, but I
thought they might look ok... Now it is nothing but icey blue and crystal white, I think I'll name her
Frosty.

================================================== =====


Edit - Recently added the Muz Whiteline Cross Brace and the Cusco 3-piece subframe. I think the s2000 is UNNECESSARILY DANGEROUS without an x or cross brace, and the cusco really tightens up the back end.

See links in the very next section!

Phrosty went from this...



To this!



This one shows the color in the headlight pretty well



Whereas this one shows nice sharp detail



Look at that NXT shine on the side!

Thanks! I was worried before I started, but I think they turned out really well.

Wow, for other colors, the painted headlights usually doesn't work that well, but with yours it works perfectly. Very very nicely done.
