I'm actually kind of surprised you managed to get pics of your car in downtown San Francisco without many cars or people walking around!!
Actually, outside of normal work hours, say after 8PM on weekdays and during the weekends, the financial district in SF is a ghost town. Great pics, BTW.

HOLY COW! Nice pics and mods

I have the same color and just got a hardtop. I might even go for those wheels later but I think you have me sold more on the camera than anything else

thanks for all the kind words guys.

actually, there were kind of a lot of people around (not like a weekday, of course), but most of the spots i stopped were bus stops or no parking zones or whatnot. i also photoshopped out a lot of other cars.

i just love the hardtop, and love the s2k in general. it is growing on me all the time. i've always thought it was a car that looked far far better in person than pictures, so i've been trying to capture what it is about the shape that "isn't photogenic," per se.

the tires match the o.d. of the stock tires pretty much spot on; 225/45/17 up front and 245/40/17 in back. i know everyone will say the ratio of grip front to back is screwed up, but i disagree, having measured the contact patches on the stock tires and on these... but more on that later. they're bfg gforce t/a kd, and so far, i like them a lot. they aren't broken in so i haven't pushed it, but amazingly, given the shorter sidewalls, i actually think they're quieter and maybe even a bit smoother. definitely more tramlining; i think absolute grip is up, but can't say for sure until i break 'em in.

Just have to say:

Exellent photos! =)

A bit of lowering would fit the S perfect with those rims! =)
