nice parts bro, one day ill score an arc intake box for my S. I once went to test drive a GPW s2000 at a dealership, and it had the arc intake box and arc sparkplug cover. the salesman told me that if I had stock parts around for the s2000 and he even cut me a deal that if I gave him the stock intake and sparkplug cover plus 200 bucks I can keep the parts. at the time I had no money or an s2000 so I had to skip on the deal that was like three years go.

that's a dope cover. I do like these a lot more than the CF ones. What would you consider the "right" price to be on something like that?

I wouldn't waste the money. They have been proven time and again to lose power on S2000s (beating a dead horse here).

If you can take care of the heatsoak issue(heat reflective tape, adequate air flow, or use the box and a different arm) then HP gains can be met

It means that the team of engineers at Honda R&D designed the motor (and related air/fuel delivery and exhaust system) to make the most horsepower for their production specification. That's why horsepower gains with intakes, headers, exhausts, etc. on the F20/F22 engine series are minimal. In some cases performance is decreased by use of certain aftermarket parts. All the "low hanging fruit" so to speak was addressed at the design stage by Honda and there is very little left to improve.
