Smile Finally found what I've been looking for...

Hi everybody,

I bought my first Honda new in 01 (Civic EX Coupe) and have owned some form of a Honda ever since. I've been in love with the GPW S2000 since 03 and a few years ago I finally had the money (and room to keep one inside a garage) to start tracking one down. There were times where I was prepared to fly somewhere and drive one home, but mine ended up coming from only a couple hours away in upstate NY this past Sept that was owned by a 60 yr old woman. It's a 2005, 68k miles, bone stock, new OE Honda soft top in June of '16 and all service records in hand. The underneath of the car still has all Honda's paint markings. She told me she'd even avoid driving it in the rain if possible. Since late Sept I've installed the Eibach front sway bar (stiff setting), Pro-Kit, the Moddiction Anvil 2 shift knob and the OE Honda wrinkle black/polished spark plug cover (not a fan of the gold one). Bought the CR side markers (pictured), but I've since gone back to stock. I've been lurking on here for a couple years now and I hope to learn much more about the car now that I actually own one and to also meet new people.

Very nice! Congrats on your new ride! I'm hoping for the same kind of luck myself.

If you don't mind me asking, how did you find it?

Searched down the east coast using Autotrader, Craigslist, etc a couple times a week. Mine ended up coming from Craigslist.

Smart. A lot of people don't realize how important this is until it's too late. Congrats and welcome!

Thanks, guys. Ordered some color matched keyhole covers along with a shorty antenna and also replaced the head unit with a Pioneer unit (usb, bluetooth, etc). Other than that I have no plans to change it's look.
