Did you install the rear window yourself? If so, can you post a guide with pictures?
i just used this DIY that was on this site.

https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/828...rdtop-install/

i used 3M window weld i got at Pepboys, maybe autozone has them too?? to install the rear window. It was easy to install, make sure you put enough all the way around. Then i just put some 15lbls-20lbls dumbbells to press it down firmly and hold it there while it dried.

i know mine held well, since i had the windows rolled down doing 80MPH+ and still there lol. n.n
Did you sand and prime the hood where the 3M window weld goes onto?

yup, give it a better bite/stick on to.

I like it. Very creative with the recessed area. Can't believe no ones done that yet it looks good. Is it the FRP top?

you are correct! i know, i been searching for 2 tones painted Mugen hardtops since i bought the car in Dec 8th 2013. I haven't seen or stumbled upon anyone that left that/painted the recess area with black sides. So i said why not, hopefully it don't look weird. So far some of you guys like it so im happy hahah.

Looks pretty cool but your car is sitting very very high which is making your wheels look like theyre 14's.. I have the same ht but in cf and very happy with it
If those look like 14's then you've never seen actual 14's.

On topic, the car looks good.
I was being sarcastic lol to the op drop your car on eibachs or swifts and youre good to go

Thanks for the info, ill go with eibachs all round 1' drop

very nice, looks pretty good with the black in the recessed part.

Agreed with the other recommendations - look at getting some springs, they're an easy way to lower it to where it looks good but still be functional to daily drive. Personally I have the Espelir springs and recommend them to anyone who asks.

Looks great! What rear lips/diffusers/splitters are those on the rear bumper?
