Both are on point. The EXACT two cars I plan to own in the near future with similar taste.

Well done!

Thanks, man! Popular choices and as an owner of both, honestly...I will say that whatever void one of the cars leaves, the other counters perfectly.

Now to find an F150 lightning for some torque and hauling capability! Ha ha...

Welocome!

Awesome TL, very nicely done. Good to see that the S is going to another great owner who will no doubt take great care of it.

Do you happen to know what suspension the S is on? That is pretty much the drop that I'm looking for.

THanks and welcome again

Been a long week, I'm moving to a new place. Loving the garage. Hope you all are having a fantastic Thanksgiving week!

Finally decided I needed some NON house related modding so I finally installed the side strakes (in front of rear wheel, matches lines of front bumper and are OEM option) and also swapped out the 15MM spacers that were on the car for some 20's. Test fitted the Advans...but MAN, that is MEXI flush and rubs like a motherf@#ker. No way...I also wanted to put some spacers on the front oem wheels but of course, it's 73.1 hub, not 64.15 like the rear.

Love how they look though!

J.

So, gorgeous morning and after field work on my own on Thursday, I told Betty we needed to hit this route up A1A in the S over the weekend. Great time! Other than hitting a raised manhole cover with the lip protector...awesome :rant: put a small crack in the oem lip and spider cracks in the paint all over, I guess they didn't use enough flex additive in the clear.

Anyway, it's not TERRIBLE, but enough to annoy me.

So, productive S2000 weekend.
I want to give a big kudos and thumbs up to Modifry...as an individual vendor that has created all these products for the S2000 the instructions, construction, fair pricing and cheap AND fast shipping are and absolute cut above. Bob, thank you thank you thank you.

I had already installed his wired DCI to use the dash buttons with the Pioneer I installed...streaming bluetooth, combinations of button presses that have multiple EXTRA functions, can't say enough. Also added his side bracket and cup holder to get my morning coffee out from behind the shifter. The glove box organizer, another lifesaver...

Today I added his soft top straps that keep the canvas from folding in on itself when the oem straps fail. Perfectly engineered, took me 10 minutes to install with no need to re re-rivet. The guy is a genius. Next up was the CELL phone mount, I selected the cheaper one that mounts on the dash rather than near the new cup holder mount...seemed more intuitive to be closer.

Lastly, I installed his sidemarker modules that allow the sidemarkers to light up with the parking lights AND still signal. Only thing I don't like is now it alternates the signal with the front and sidemarker when parking lights are on, but small price to pay to have the look. Another flawless product.

That said, I took advantage since I had to remove the front wheels anyway to test fit the rear 15MM spacers on the front. Problem with the S2000 is the rear hub is 64.1 like all honda's...front is 70.1. Luckily, the spacers that came on the car had the hub insert that I as able to remove and carefully hand tighten dowen to ensure it was perfectly centricly mounted. Same with the rims...took for a test drive to see and absolutely no vibrations. Sweet, saved me the $130 for some new version 2 spacers with the correct hub bore. I had anther set of solid mounted hub 15's and 20's for the rear...I opted for the 20's. Drove around...no rubbing and about as flush as I'll need to be.

This is all in addition to having washed and waxed her on Thursday night and installed some LED boards in the interior, trunk and license plate in addition to retrofitting the broadway mirror in. I know technically I don't need it...but I feel very vulnerable when sitting at a light with the top down...I like being able to look and see my entire surrounding in one fell swoop. I hope you enjoy the pictures.
