I agree with you completely. Honestly, this was just an exercise in "too much time and a banged up lip on my hands". I did not expect to like it as much as I do. However, my ultimate plan is a RSG Gears Replica Lip in SSM. That will be sweet!

What was your total cost investment of fixing the seats?
Thank you! Money wise, was under $150. Took about 4 days to complete the work, though. Note that black covers better than red or tan---plan to purchase the larger size color bottles if you have red or tan seats. Also, color is slightly off from OEM. Plan to do your door card inserts and console cover (if you have leather) for a complete match.

Thanks, J! TBH, I think the springs are a bit lower than I wanted, but they do look good! I don't want to burn money on spacers when I'm planning on wheels next season. Also, I cracked my plastic MY00 rear window, so I need a new top now, too! Did you know Gorilla Tape comes in clear?

I did not realize you could paint over PD. Hmmmm...

It already has such tasteful mods, looking forward to seeing what you do next. I'm so impressed with that seat repair. It's a shame those early red leather seats were so fragile.

Thanks, Mack!

I'm looking at RPF1s. I'm thinking 17x8 with 215/45 F and 17x9 245/40 R. With my drop, will I need to roll fenders? If yes, anyone local that does S2000s?

First Mod of 2016!

I hated the crossbeam that was under the OEM airbox after I installed the K&N. Just nasty:



Found a guy on Facebook selling CF cover pieces for a good price, so I took a shot. Turned out to be a very nice piece. I had to supply some double sided tape and the fit was a little off due to a metal bracket that is welded on the back side of the cross member. I could have broken out the Dremel tool and notched the cover a bit, bit I decided not to.

I think it looks great!







Let the good times roll!

To be honest, I never once thought about doing that.

Yeah that looks great! I should look into one myself.

As for the RPF1s, depending on how low you go, you might need to roll the rears, trim the bumper, and relocate the bumper tab.

If you get with BaZurk, he can help you out with getting that done. Shoot him a PM to ask about the service.
