Just picked up a new to me 03 Sebring Silver S2000 at an insurance auction up in Martinez, CA. Car has AP2 tail lights, HKS exhaust, AEM V2 Intake, a really nice Sony head unit, AP2 door panels with tweeters and Polk 6501s, an Ingalls engine torque damper, DC sports Short Shifter, Real BBS LMs, Gold, wrapped in Hankook Ventus tires, very nice adjustable coil overs, front sub frame brace, wrapped headers, and a stage 2 clutch, all of which i forget the brands off the top of my head. Car also came with about 2 shots of Ciroc coconut vodka in the trunk...that may have had something to do with the damage which includes both fenders, the drivers side door, passenger side quarter panel and tail light, and all the windows...

I was originally planning to just buy it, fix up the damage and resell, but after driving it for 5 minutes ive decided to keep it, at least until the tickets start piling up.

Anyway, just thought id let whoever used to own this S know that it didnt get bought for parts or the scrap heap.

Ill post pics when i get home, as well as new pics as i fix the damage and get it back on the road.

 

Welcome!

 

Anyone know how to post pics from an iPad? I kinda hate this thing cuz it's so hard to get anything off the damn thing, stupid apple products...

 

Tiny pic.com?

 

welcome, and congrats on the S purchase.

for iPad, I use photobucket.com. free to sign up. and it has an iPad app. super easy to use

 

OK, this is more of a test image, this is the car but after i replaced the drivers side door

Nevermind, i guess posting one posts them all, first time using photobucket...

 

So far i have replaced both door windows, and the drivers side door. Next up is the drivers side fender replacement, probably at least start that tonight.

I have already purchased the new quarter panel and tail light but have to get a body shop for that since i want it re skinned rather than just hack the whole corner off the car and weld in a new one.

Damage to the car is completely cosmetic, no frame or engine or alignment problems whatsoever, and its only got 58k miles.

I do have one question though.

I may need to get the car inspected by the CHP, should i take the Intake, exhaust, and headers back to stock before i do so? Intake is an AEM V2, exhaust is HKS, does have a resonator but still quite loud.

 

Welcome !

 

Just got home, it has comptech headers, buddy club coil overs, ill have to ask my mechanic friend about the clutch since he opened that up to look. I think he said the subframe brace is a beaks but it doesn't look like the images I pull up on google for that one. It also has the blue spoon side mirrors... Pretty soon ill have to move this over to a mods thread...

 

I had my inspection done at the DMW... the people there don't really know anything about cars whatsoever! They basically check VIN numbers, lights etc. If you go that route you can leave the mods on. BUT, if you have to get CHP inspection, they are going to fail you with the mods you have listed. Is this an inspection for salvage title?
