Default Goodbye S2K! Hello...... S2K?

So as you had seen from some threads I was considering selling my S2000 for the last few weeks, I had been looking into E46 M3's and was pretty sure it was what I wanted to replace the S2K with. After a lot of research I discovered the 2 major recalls going on with E46 M3's as well as a third in development and decided to stay away. Thought it may not be wise to spend 25k$ on a car that may need its rod bearings and oil pump replaced, subframe replaced and potential VANOS grenading.

So while out cruising in the sun today (for once) I drove past a car I decided to look at for shits and giggles, took it for a drive, and ended up trading my 2003 BB for a 2006 NFR. Got a price I was happy with, and have a smaller payment and a lower interest rate then I had for a car that's 3 years newer. Only downfall is the 06 has slightly more mileage on it then my 03 did, but it's a Honda so

Might be the most impulsive car buy ever, hopefully it doesn't bite me in the ass.
Previous owner bought it new and lived here in Falmouth, traded it in on a new Fit, anyone here??

Ha. I had to convince them to let me take my 03 home for the rest of the weekend to clean it out and remove the exhaust and a few parts. So I'll be doing that today and dropping off the 03 tomorrow am and leaving in the 06.
I'm trying to decide whether to swap the parts I have over or just get rid of them and start over with others. It's not much, just exhaust, downforce diffusers, wheels spacers, springs and stereo stuff... but still can't decide. We'll see when I get it home tomorrow.
It needs a front lip badly though..... and has a small ding on one of the rear fenders that I need to fix. Much better than the 10 dings my BB had though
