My S2k
I don't care for the tonneau cover at all. It severely interrupts the great flow that your car has. I agree with a previous poster- your emblems need to go. Too many people are aware of what a Sylvia is.
Great wheels, and your audio setup seems to be nasty.

Hey, thanks for the input!
I wasn' sure about theThe Veilside (it is actually a copy) cover either. I found, though, it gets a lot of positive comments in person. Plus, I got it on e-bay for 200, so I'll probably keep it. : ) I do agree, however, would be nice if it was less thick, so to speak.
The Silvia emblems - I don't like the S2k emblems that are made for the car, too bulky and unoriginal. I don't mind it on the steeriling wheel. I am of the opinion that an emblem should standout, ala Porsche, BMW, Saab, Alfa Romeo, ie, many of the European cars; aesthetically and artistically intersting. The Japanese have such uninteresting emblems, I have never understood that. I have owned 2 NSX's and changed the emblem because I hated the Acura insignia.
Emblem continued - With the Silvia emblem I kinda of like watching the genral public stare at the car whenever I take it out because they have no clue what it is. I also like the shock I see on their faces when I tell them it is a Honda. My point is, perception is reality. Without Honda emblems, people associate it with a much higher status (which it should be assoiated with on its own merts, but often isn't among non-aficionados.) I am a reasonably intelligent car guy, yet had no idea what a Silvia was until I found the emblem when looking for an interesting S. Since the Silvia is only available in Japan, the general public has no idea what a Silvia is, so it works.
I guess what I am saying is that there are fewer of us die hard S2K owners who know our cars inside and out. The rest of the public has no idea that the emblem is "tacky". : ) That said, if anyone knows of an interesting S emblem, I am all ears.
Exhaust - You should have seen it before I had it trimmed back 2 inches!! : )
Thanks again guys.

It doesn't matter that the general public doesn't know what a Silvia is, anybody who likes cars is going to look at that and laugh, just like the guys in civics with BMW emblems or etc. It makes you look like the one who doesn't know what a Silvia is. If you don't like the emblems, just shave them off, that's what I am in the process of doing, the only emblem I have left is my front bumper one and that will be gone once I do a repaint on my bumper.
