Thanks for the welcome and props everybody!

I love the car the way it is, definitely nothing major is going to change, just some minor stuff. The last owner had an orange tow hook that I think needs to go. Also the blue rim is also going also.

OEM hardtop is definitely on my list to get. Too bad its so hard to find =[. I am curious though, are most of you guys going with a black top or a matching laguna blue top? I did search and found a laguna blue thread, but right now it seems like a 50/50 kind've thing.

Thanks! Yup work Cr Kais. For the price I paid for the car, I assumed they were some replicas. They came with blue rim tape though, might take it off tomorrow.

BTW, I did have one concern that I noticed after owning this car for a few weeks. The S chassis frame is extremely low?! Either that or I have a weird S lol. Its lowered on Tein S-techs which is rated at -1" all around, I pretty much still have a finger gap on the fender yet the frame scraps no matter how I enter certain ramps and speedbumps. Its different than your typical front lip scrappage in the sense that angling doesn't do anything. I stopped on a speed bump midway through and indeed saw that the frame hits certain speed bumps. Any of you guy shave this problem?

Had a 240sx and integra before this car that was definitely lowered way more. The front lip and side skirts were obviously closer to the ground than the frame on my past cars. I'm guessing the s2 just naturally has a low frame then? Let me know your input guys. I am going to search this up when I get off work, just though I'd post in here for now.

On certain speed bumps no.matter how sideways I get I still scrape also but its weird cause I'm on skunk2s its 2 in front 1.8 in rear and its always the frame area right behind the doors that scrapes not the exhaust though but no I'm not shaving any of the frame I just go to a different subway now
