[B]OH DAMN...That's hot Ryan! I love the Mugen ss wing.

 

Ryan,

Man...normally I'm not a fan of the full bodykit, but on the black, it is HOT!!! I still haven't warmed up to the front bumper cover, but that profile view has got me in love.

I've been tossing around the idea of the 3 piece spoiler vs. the wing....so far I thought I wanted the spoiler, but now I just don't know.

I also am not normally a fan of the big fiberglass bootcover, but damn looks good on black!!!

I can't wait until I can clay, polish, and wax the car for this summer. Give me a week or two and I will be posting more pics on my baby.

 

BTW, thanks for showing others that painting a CF hood isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I think it looks very classy painted....especially the Mugen hood...it's just too radical for my tastes when left unpainted.

 

In my opinion, the Mugen hood doesn't look right unpainted. It's too over-the-top with the vents and front "bump", plus there was a CF seam running through the middle of it (we noticed it when dropping it off at the paint shop). I saw 1RandyC's car a month ago (long after I'd ordered my hood) and loved the way his vents were left CF but the rest was painted, so we went that route as well. The underside is still all CF and I swear the box the hood came in weighed more than the hood itself.

The bumper cover is so close to the OEM with the airwalker lip that even some S owners at a show this past weekend didn't realize it was the kit at first.

I reluctantly went with the Veilside piece for the tonneau cover (quality left much to be desired) because I can't stand the soft boot. Reminds me too much of my old Z3 with the snaps and such. The piece sits a little higher than I'd like, but beggas can't be choosers

Next step - Mugen hardtop...

Nice Mugen pics!

 

dubai, did you actually paint the SS wing?

 

 

Ryan-

That looks incredible - that is one of the hottest S2000s out there.

Looks hot Ryan...I see an Evo 8 in the last pic. Care to make a few comments on it? I'm undecided between that & the Sti for a future daily driver.

 

It's an impressive car, especially for $30k. Even with all of my mods, the Evo has no problems toying with the S2000 from a stoplight. It's comfortable and easy to drive... much easier than the S2000 (it took me half an hour to get used to the S after getting back in it when the paintwork was done). I've also got about $2000 worth of bolt-ons enroute for the Evo that should put it at mid 12s on the dragstrip - after all, this is me we're talking about!

It's an awesome little sedan, though I'm not a fan of the altezza tails - I've got a pair of Evo VIIs coming (direct swap). I like the styling, and it handles like its on rails.
