Depends on which mods you want to do. Some exterior mods don't cost anything (shaving the S2000 off the fenders for instance) and some cost a lot (Mugen spoiler or C-West bumpers). Same with engine...CAI can be rather inexpensive (K&N air filter to replace the stock unit) others can cost a ton of funds...
and just to get this back on topic..I think I saw that same Rio AP-1 as well but on King Street.

 

7/1 -- 5:30-6:00pm on 267-Toll East

Silver AP1 'AP2 FTL' I think was the plate.

I was on the Tuono, thought your plate was pretty comical.

***after searching, I think it was Highlift

 

silverstone on idlewood (sp) near tysons at around 8-9ish in the morning. i was in the EMII with bixenons and Advan SA3R's with a blue lip/black spokes.

 

Definitely Highlift (Ross).

I wanted to give him a wave but I was pretty sure he wouldn't get it.

At any rate, Hi Ross.

 

i saw a silverstone ap2 at Ruby Tuesdays last night... sorry i didnt wave i caught you in the corner of my eye but kinda didnt sink in til i passed ya... WAZAAP!

Also saw a red Ap2 by the Hard times in springfield. I was in my aunts mitsu lancer...

 

Saw an ap1 yellow with "s" badges parked at ffx government center. Anyone know who this is.

P.s. How can you all tell the difference between the years? All I've noticed so far are the front bumpers and the headlights.

I haven't had mine that long to notice the little details. But I thought the body parts were basically the same throughout all years.

 

Easy years to tell apart are 2000-2003 versus 2004-2008 (and beyond) -- the front bumper / headlights and rear bumper / tail lights are different; 16" rims on the 2000-2003 (if stock) versus 17" rims on the 2004-2008s -- 2004-2005 have different rims than 2006-2007, and 2008 have different rims -- its difficult to base it solely on this however since rims are easy to change. 2006+ models have Daytime running lights standard for USDM models. There are other smaller differences between the years too like the chrome rings on the 2002-2003 tail lights versus no chrome on the 2000-2001 tail lights, and there's also interior differences between many years -- but interior is difficult to see while driving

 

Spotted silver AP1 on route 7 turning into dulles towncenter. It was around 6-6:30. I haven't seen others around here in a little while.
