1. Get a very high quality stainless steel or aluminum box made to cover the area. Must have absolutely perfect TIG welds for optimal strength for a non-load-bearing part.
2. Laser cut Kanji symbols for 'Freedom' and 'Star' on top at unique angle.
3. Paint matte pink, or any bright/unique color of your choice.
4. Make more, but only deliver 2-3 months after customer's order because of "shipping time."
5. Profit.

So can anyone actually answer my question?

Instead of giving me smart ass answers. Just wondering if it will change the way abs works is all.

Probably no one here on the racing and competition forum has actually done it, because there is no performance related reason to do it.

Why would you do that? Because the box looks ugly?
You know what looks ugly? Stuffing your car into a wall at the track because you monkeyed with your perfectly good brake system for no good reason.

Vi3tBoy, we make a deliberate effort to keep discussions on topic in Racing and Competition, so if you want tips on how best to beautify your engine bay, you'll have better luck asking in a different forum.

To say there is no performance related reason to do so would be incorrect. I know one person who relocated the heavy ABS pump from the very front of the car to next to the firewall to get the weight better centered in his race car. This wasn't in an S2000, but it was a Honda.

Okay, you got me. It could also be in the way of a big honkin' blower setup. But it's likely that Vi3tboy didn't get serious answers because nobody who visited on the forum in the 12 hours between his "will this work?" post and his "well, where's my answer?" post had reason to do it.

As much as I want to make it look better my question was does it affect the way abs feels/works at the track? Serious question.

Posting in a appearance or cosmetic forum would not get me that answer, it would most likely get the toss that shit out the window answer. If no one can answer it fine no problem.

There's no technical reason it won't work. It's just a pump with some tubes and wires running to it. Get the wiring connections right, plumb the lines properly with no restrictions and it'll work just like it does today.

It's going to cost a lot to get it done right. Plus you don't have step 5 in this plan. Your shop may have lots of profit for this job but you won't!

EDIT: Forgot to mention the obvious: If your shop does anything other than a top-notch job and you have any kind of a failure, there's a real good chance you'll destroy the car. That's a big risk for the benefit.
