this should be interesting... no wait...

 

Since I was bored, I checked out pics of your ride from your link in the signature. It's nice, nice choice of color I almost have the same setup as you, and S, and Accord and "almost" bought a bike years ago. I am licensed to ride a motorcyle, but haven't ridden one in years ever since I got the M on my license.

Have a couple of questions. Do the MY 05's come with a silver inside door handle stock? Mine came black, but just ordered the door handle of the '02's which is titanium colored to match the titanium shift knob I just got. Is that winged spoiler stock? Not bad, although I'm still a fan of the non-winged version which is the one I have.

Since we both have the same color, I'll just list a few things I did on the exterior that I thought complemented the color. Having white sidemarkers really is nice I think, because it matches the color of the chrome on the S2000 logo. Also, some mugen license plate bolts for the license plate area is not bad because it stainless steel, so no rust and is round so it looks elegant and still matches the Silver. Just my thoughts.

 

Homemade cookie? Lainey's around? It's good to know, someone is even more bored than I am tonight.

 

Your door handles look silver, or should I say aluminum. If it matches your leather shift knob, then it should be aluminum colored. The titanium shift knob and handle matches the titanium colored thing that surrounds the shifter leather, or you can also say that titanium is almost exactly the same as Silverstone. And the aluminum shift knob is the color of Sebring. I gave my buddy my all aluminum knob for his Sebring and it's the same color. Anyway, yes, without the leather it gets too hot or cold, Alternatively, you can go with a Rick's shift knob leather cover for that minute or two when it's crazy hot, all a matter of preference I guess. I just like the sporty look of all metal, so I'll have to live with the few times it gets too hot or cold.

Yeah, they charge an arm and a leg for add-ons. Glad when I got mine, the rear spoiler and windscreen came with it. In the first year, the windscreen was an option...imagine that?

The mugen bolts are around $25 bucks if I remember, well worth it...it might be a very very small detail, but man, it is really noticeable though, and I didn't want to have to worry about rusting parts which is what drew me to them.

Other mods? I think I am all modded out. I am a light modder, or should I say I like to refine the car, but try to keep it as stock as possible. The door handle mod is probably going to be the last one until I find some other mod I like, but so far, my mods have been functional mostly and minor things here and there with the exception of the audio system. That is why meets are so great, I know I got a ton of ideas from seeing other people's mods for inspiration. I got the mugen bolts idea after seeing it on Glenn's car.

 

You say you keep a car for a long time, but you might trade it in your 2 year old for an 08! Anyway, yeah, I'll make a note to show you the mugen bolts at the Pizza Meet, if I forget, just track me down. It is definately serious coin for two bolts, but worth it in my opinion.

As for the license frame...I decided to go without, I think it looks better frameless. I am of the opinion, less is more...hence why I am a light modder. I've made a good number of mods, but most you'll have a hard time seeing unless you look hard enough like the mugen bolts for instance. With that said, I don't skip on quality, hence why I was willing to get the titanium shift knob at nose bleeding prices.

I don't have the same issue you have with performance, it is good enough for me, it is more of a topdown cruiser for me, so it's good enough, not torn here... I like original stuff too and also like keeping a car for a long time, esp with the S.

It really is dead today. Nights are always quiet but come on people, is everyone actually working hard today?

I know I'm not.

 

I'm just hanging out and saving my strength for the metric ton of cookies I'll be hauling home tomorrow night after the Pizza Meet!

 

I've got to see what Betty has in mind for you. Any particular kind you don't like, i.e. peanut butter? I'm not sure what's in the cupboard for "home made" ingredients.
