Finally got an S2000
Hey everyone. I've been lurking these forums for about a year now, and finally bought an S2000 this past Saturday. It's an '01 Silverstone with black/red interior with only 17k miles! I love the car and plan to take great care of it. I've learned a ton on this forum and hope to contribute. Happy to be a part of the community! I don't have great pictures but here are some iPhone shots:

Thanks for the kind words everyone! As far as plans for the car, I'm just enjoying it in stock form for now. I've got a few things on order such as LED dome lights and license plate lights, hardtop strikers to replace my current strikers (wind noise is bad with top up), and color-matched bumper plugs and key hole covers. Just some small stuff to keep me happy. I also plan to order the Ricks2k leather console cover as well as a weighted, countersunk shift knob (probably Moddiction). Also I've spent quite a bit on maintenance stuff. Either this weekend or the following weekend I plan on doing the following:
Oil change with Amsoil Signature Series 10w30 Synthetic, OEM Honda filter
Trans fluid change with Honda MTF
Diff fluid change with Amsoil Severe Gear 75w110
Clutch/Brake fluid flush with Honda DOT3 brake fluid
Cabin air filter replacement
Does this sound like a good plan? I'm always open to suggestions or input. Also at some point I'd like to do AP2 valve retainers as a preventative thing.

That all sounds like a good plan. 
I'd feel around the top of the convertible frame for any burrs as well. If you feel anything be sure to sand it down before it starts to wear on the top. Look for any spots that are worn and you'll probably find burrs or rough spots on the frame right beneath it.
