Unfortunately, a woman chrashed into the car's side without braking.
First thought 'bout buying a BMW E46 in order to give up tuning, since it's still a very expensive hobby...
But however... I'm not planning to build a family in the next few years, so forget about that shit ...

new mods, fresh pix:

TEINs




the new Spoon-convex mirrors


they really work, both sides are convex so you're even able to see who's next to your car. :bang:

again, the engine bay:





BTW, Spoon-Radiator-Stays

Interior-Macros




removed the license plate frame...




even with the 2 small screws, it looks alot cleaner...

thats too bad about your old ride, it was very clean!

but out with the old, in with the new. your new car is tha shiznit!!!! and already modding!

 

Hey welcome to the crew.. You have awsome taste and your sig rocks!

 

Congrats!
Be sure to research your purchases if you wish to extract the most performance (vs aesthetic upgrades)! Popular brands/styles vary greatly from the Civic world, as I'm sure you're aware.

Regardless, you're off to a great start. Enjoy it, safely!

 

Nicely Done!!
The Civic was very nice... but this is sooo much nicer

 

thanx for your comments.
Hope Ill roller doesn't mind "stealing" his picture for my sig... I really like the way, the movement of the car came out.

As for the mods: Don't want to change that much, definitely not as much as I changed the hatch.
Since it is my daily driver, it has to be clean and tasteful modded in order not to get flamed by my colleagues.

The only thing, that I wanted to do is the air panel, since I don't like the gap between engine and frontmask... and it looks OEM besides the cf-pattern...
Furthermore I kept some souvenirs (radiator stay/cap) from my old civic.
I'm a big fan of TEIN-Lifts since I had a set on my civic, so why don't put a set into the S as well!? Didn't want to keep the hood-holder, not state of the art in my opinion.

Best mod so far... spoon mirror glasses. No blind spot anymore.

The car in your sig sucks I have no problem with you using the pic, it looks good.

Good luck with the car... Looks like you waste no time modding

 

thanks man.
Like your Pictures, they're very famous here in germany. Same with your car.

Currently I'm thinking about the future mods:

-KW suspension
-17" wheels
-Hardtop

concerning the wheels it's a hard decision for me between:

17" Advan RG2 / I would prefer the rota boost as I have been very satisfied with this company regarding my hatch


17" Volk CE28


17" OEM - probably the best choice for me in order to keep the ride clean


18" Dotz Daytona



ATS DTC


or maybe even something different...
Hard decision.

As for the hardtop, I really fell in love with the mugen-HT
however, nobody was able to tell me whether it would be more dangerous with a mugen in case of a rollover in comparison with the oem.
After that, I found a pic of a silverstone S rocking the OEM in black.
In my opinion, this would be the best alternative for me:



quick Photoshop of my plans...


let me know, what ya think...

Congrats on your new car. Seeing from your Civic, I can't wait to see what you have in store for the S2K.
