Default Proud New Owner

Hello everyone! My names Josh, I'm finally a proud owner of a certified 2005 Honda S2K formula Red w/ only 15k miles. I LOVE IT!

Now I do have a few questions because I searched and couldn't find any info.
~Debadging, I love the clean look, any tips on removing the Honda Logo, and possibly the S2000 lettering?
~Door locks, the passenger side locks but doesnt unlock when i use the driver side controls. Is this a problem? The salesman insisted it was designed that way, which didn't make much sense to me lol
~Finally, any recommended sites for customizing my S2000? (exhaust, intake, etc.)

Sorry for all the questions, I'm just really excited to find such a good S2000 community, and interested in all your input. I will post pics ASAP, I'm currently at work. Thanks guys!

The locks problem you should have a switch on your panel that allows the driver side controls to work or not work. It is a long red toggle type switch.

Hello Josh, I am also new to this forum, but I have been spending my time with my S2000s for some years.
I would suggest basic modifications like:

- Mugen Exhaust pipe
- ARC air intake
- HKS or Tein suspension
- +/- J's racing ECU

Hey nice meeting you at the HB meet.

I am not exactly debadged, but have Rick's "S" badges.

You get your hood cleaned up?

Welcome!

If you are going to debadged, you'll have to have your bumpers shaved--there are holes
that the badge mounts to which would look pretty ugly if uncovered.

The door lock works as the salesman described. I always have to lean over to
unlock it when I have a passenger. The passenger side will unlock with
two clicks of your remote, however.

Sites? Go to the s2ki gallery for pics and ideas. There are countless ways to
mod the car... My first mods were clear side marker lights, Rick's badges,
and HKS hi-power exhaust. Then K&N intake, KW v2 coilovers, various CF
parts in the engine bay, and hood dampers. Limited to your imagination!
