Default New Guy - 2007 LBP (New York)

Hi, all! Just chiming in as one of the new guys. I'm located on Long Island, the land of brutal traffic and boring, straight roads. I purchased a 2007 Laguna Blue Pearl AP2 back in November. I wasn't looking for another car, but the only S2000 I'd ever have wanted was a LBP or GPW AP2 with the factory aero kit and a hard top. This one happened to pop up for sale and I had to jump at the chance. The car having APv2 wheels was just a bonus, since they're not 'technically' correct but they're my favorite AP2 wheels.

The car is a 2007 with 41K miles. The exterior and interior are both nearly flawless. The hard-top was originally GPW but has been vinyl-wrapped black, which I love. The car appears to be bone stock except for the Billman TCT, an ETD, and CR side turn signals (which look better, so I'm happy they're there). I bough it as a "it's nice out today and I don't need to take the kids anywhere" car, so I'm actually getting quite a bit of seat time since I have plenty of hobbies I do on my own. The big test will be getting my golf bag in the car once summer hit, but I'm confident it'll be fine.

Since obtaining the car, I've done a few quality-of-life upgrades: Modifry cup holder and the PowerAcoustik PW-71 Android Auto head unit with an integrated back-up camera. Other than the screen being hard to see when the top is down (I need more nits!), it has really helped make the car even more enjoyable and stress-free.

Looking forward to getting the car a thorough once-over from @Billman250 in a few months.

Obligatory photos:

LBP is one of, if not my favorite color on these S2K's. Congrats on the car! Immaculate spec

AP2V2 wheels are correct for a your 2007 (or any LBP car since these are all 2006-2009) but these are AP2V1 wheels. The car doesn't care! Heck I'm always tempted to put AP2V3 wheels on my '06.

Thank you for the correction! I was bound to get something wrong.

Welcome to S2KI! The car looks amazing. You're lucky to have Billman close by. Be sure to check the New York Metro sub-forum periodically for goings on near you: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/new-york...000-owners-61/

Welcome! Love this spec. Wish I could've gotten a hold of this color combo but red is the next best thing
