Hi everyone - I picked up my 2001 S2K in Sebring Silver a few days ago. 108k miles, relatively clean for it's mileage.
This car is a BLAST. So fun to drive.
I want to keep it OEM plus and clean looking, and here are my plans:
Ohlins DFSV coilovers
Sway bars (probably urge designs)
Either resurface existing wheels or pickup OEM AP2 wheels.... but I could be convinced to go aftermarket here (I love dark bronze contrasting with the silver)
Guardian Designs steering wheel - ORDERED
Qube Engineering LED gauge cluster - ORDERED
Qube Engineering LED dash controls - ORDERED
Robbins replacement soft top
RSG 2-piece rear hard top brackets - ORDERED
RSG 1-piece front hard top brackets - ORDERED
AP2 center console
passenger footwell cupholder - ORDERED
replacement S2000 side emblems - ORDERED
JDM red H emblems - ORDERED
Anti-gravity battery
OEM replacement windshield (current one has a ton of chips) - ORDERED
Some work I'm doing to freshen it up:
Full clay bar + DA polish and wax application
Metal polishing the HKS catback exhaust system (hopefully this brings it back to life, it looks pretty rough rn)
Plastic polish on the hard top lexan window (hoping I don't need to buy a new one)
If you think I'm missing something obvious, hit me up! I'm going to love driving this thing.
Behold After cleaning and conditioning the leather it came out looking pretty nice Took the HT off to prep for installing new brackets - thankfully the soft top is fully functional! fully functional but it does look a little rough, hence why I'm planning on buying a Robbins top at some point.
Looks great! 2001 or 2002? 2001 had the big plastic rear window, 2002 got the small glass rear window with the defroster so if it's really a 2001 the roof has been replaced already. Parked roof up in the sun on a hot day or two should get rid of the wrinkles.

ahhh, it is definitely a 2001, good to know that the roof has been replaced at some point. Hopefully we have a hot day soon, those aren’t common here in Seattle haha
