Thanks!
Just order thru handa.com or majestichonda.com. The lip comes with all parts needed, and you might as well get the rear low spoiler as well, they can put all pieces in one box, saving on shipping.

Beyond the front lip...After looking at it I think I'm going to keep the look clean and just refinish the bumper and apply Xpel to the front, has anyone had any luck integrating an aftermarket stereo with the dash controls? This car came with a Kenwood system but the dash controls are inoperative. I recall the ability to use certain adapters with aftermarket HU's and dash controls on other vehicles (My Miata for example had this ability)

Thumbs up

Welcome! Wise decision regarding the paint protection film. Wish I would have done that early on. As for the front lip, if you're wanting an OEM one and if Suzuka is indeed discontinued (I wouldn't be surprised as a lot of S2000 parts are being discontinued), you might search our For Sale section for a used one in good condition.

Just bought a used S2000

Modifry makes a brilliant dash control interface for aftermarket HUs, as well as several other neat products for the S2000.

Looking forward to flying out to pick it up and drive it back home this Friday...I've been around these things for years, I'm an autocrosser who's been into mostly Miatas and special edition Focuses (3 SVT Focuses, a '14 ST and now my '17 RS) as my "race cars" and have always enjoyed watching what these things can do out there.

Ironically, I doubt I'll ever autocross it. lol....I am buying this mostly on a whim, but just to get back into a fun weekend-type car that I can enjoy in better weather. It'll sit all winter of course, and most of the spring, meaning the miles on this car will always stay low, but the car will be driven, and driven with intent!

I'm not looking to modify it beyond some very minor asthetics (clear side markers for example, are already on order), and some preservation items such as XPEL and probably some seat covers (as long as I keep that blue! lol).

I know this is a Honda, and that means it'll probably run forever, but when it comes to PM, what should I look for, what would it need, etc? I may be interested in some very minor mods, like intake/exhaust, but that would likely be it....

Looking forward to learning more about this car! Pics soon!
Congrats on the new car! Keep it stock, maybe some coilovers and enjoy it. I regret rolling my fenders so that I could fit the rpf1s. Young and naive. I totally regret it.

Stock for sure.
I'm getting the body work done (all 600 bucks of it that's required) in a week, Over the winter, I'll get the two slightly curbed wheels refinished, then I'll focus on a couple of the plastic panels that have some nicks and I'll order new floor mats...Shocked at how expensive they are, but by spring I'll wind up with a near show-room perfect, all original S2K.

all original S2K
For now. Maybe. You're already on a slippery slope with that shift knob and clear side markers. What's next?!

BTW: The car looks great!

Thanks!

The knob came with the car....the original was in the console but it's too small for my hand...I honestly would have preferred the original radio came with it as well...the controls on the dash don't work...I'll probably spring for that modifry adapter but those are the only two pieces that'll be non OEM
