Default Just a new guy from NOVA

Hi Guys

I'm Darryl, and I purchased a 03 Suzuka Blue S2000 around Memorial Day weekend. Blue on blue wasn't my first choice, but after test driving my car I was sold

I'm new to the S2000 scene but not to Hondas. I currently own a 88 CRX Si. That's main reason why I purchased a S2000, so I can stop putting miles on my CRX (backwards I know lol). Also, I own/maintain a forum dedicated to 88-91 Civics/CRXs (www.eastcoastefcivics.com or www.ecefc.com for short). I'm looking forward to picking everyone's brains and meeting new people in the scene.

And then I started to mod the car...


AP1 Spoiler installed







JDM Headlights came next.







Almost done...



All of the lights are functional!



Let's throw the bumper back on.



Can't forget about the lip


BAM, it looks like a brand new car.

Nice S! Just a FYI, the JDM headlights have an incorrect beam pattern for US roads (they are made for RHD vehicles) and light gets thrown up in oncoming traffic in case you didn't know already.

Thanks robotvoice.


Yeah I know about the pattern (if you search jdm headlights on this site every thread has at least one person pop up and state that lol), but thanks for the heads up.
