I've been doing alot of research of brakes recently and I have to say... lok into an Accord brake swap! I'm thinking of doing this myself, and basically it involves getting some calipers from an 03-07 (I think) Accord and some special rotors and just a simple switcheroo. There's some threads that detail much more info about the swap but performance wise there's a nice increase in stopping power, and looks you'll be unique to any S2k that pulls up next to you in a subtle way. The owner of the other car will be wondering why his brakes appear smaller yet you don't have a $$$$$$$ big brake kit. However, if you choose not to do this I say just paint your stock calipers and apply the S2000 stickers. I currently have red calipers with chrome s2000 stickers. Have fun!!

Make sure your wheels have enough clearance for the Spoon calipers, you can come down to my shop to test fit your wheel on my car.

OMG... Then buy the name SPOON for 2k... doesn't make sense to me buy something for a name when you buy something that works even better.

^^^^ Looks better than SPOON on your black car, and works better.
