this was my solution to the "less appealing" ap1 headlights
I usually drive by a lot of "subjectively modded" Hondas/Toyotas/Nissans and usually don't get a look or any response (LA area, so S2000 are just uncommon but not rare) and yesterday I was driving home and I saw a Lambo Gallardo SV (those things are niiice) and the driver and I exchanged looks haha.

Glad you like the new car, what made you switch from a g37 though? Was it money factor or you just wanted an s2000?
I get compliments all the time as well, wait till you get a hardtop/nice looking sound exhaust, I have random people come up to me and ask me what I do for a living or nice car/ looks cool/ beautiful car!

Much attention in residential areas thanks to my Invidia which announces I'm comming, then the gawks as I slowly go by. My corvettes Never recieved this amount of interest. Comments you can count on are absolutly in your future if you own an S2000.

wow really? Why do you even own one? I love its sexy good looks, and its performance abilities. Love the headlights and tail lights. Well I will say the AP1 does need to look for aggressive.

So I recently (3 weeks ago) picked up a 2005 Silverstone S2000...I'm coming from a 2008 Infiniti G37 (6mt, sport)...Loved the Infiniti in terms of luxury, reliability, and highway power...
I've been humbled in owning the s2000 as I now realize I never owned a sports car before...The infinigi was a luxury coupe...
Having said that...My $40,000 Infiniti got in 4 years less compliments from total strangers then I've received in 3 weeks over my s2000...
No less then 5 total strangers have made comments about my car...And the most amazing part is that the demographic is sooooooo different...
Pulled up to a country club and both the bag drop gentlemen (easily 60-70 years old) commented with "sweet wheels"...They meant the car obviously as I have stock rims! Ha...Both talked about how it's nice to know when you've "made" it with ride like that...I guess they don't realize it cost me $17,000...Hardly "made" it money....
The very next day I pull into McDonalds to grab a coffee...The kid at the window (I'd guess 19-22) says "wow that's a sick car, looks amazing"
Today I went to pick up my wifes Pathfinder at the mechanic...Owner of the shop (about 50 years old) and a mechanic (roughly 35) couldn't stop looking over my car...The owner says "wow thats a sharp ride you got there"..."I'd love to get me one, looks like a great toy" I told him he has no idea just how much fun this toy can be...
Anyways...Just thought I'd share...

I think I talked to you real quick a few weeks ago at Wawa on Horsham Road when you were pulling away in your G37. Glad your loving the car as much as the rest of us!
