I guess spending $10,000+ on a car for you wasn't enough compensation for your amazing grades?
You said it yourself: you can't afford a car. So quit being so damn spoiled and be happy that your dad bought you an S2000 and let you mod it as much as he has.
If you're not satisfied, move out of daddy's house, get a job, and buy your own S2000.

Well, make something wrong with the exhaust on the car. Get a quote from honda for what a new exhaust will cost, then toss him the fact that a aftermarket one would be cheaper.
Hell if the roads in orlando are half as bad as the once in jax it shouldn't be hard to bottom the car out and rip the exhaust off.

there is nothing wrong with living with your parents..... when your young they take care of you and when you grow up, you take care of them.

And it's ok for teenagers to jump into this forum, but they should expect to get advice from folks that are not teenagers.
Daddy's house, Daddy's car, Daddy's rules. When I was a teenager, I was expected to buy my own, daddy never gave me a car. Even then, I was under Mom's rule (I had a Corvette and an MG and she said I had to get rid of one of them because both were in the driveway).
OP: Don't piss on the hand that's feeding you. Respect the rules or move out.

i kept my factory exhaust even when i was supercharged because the OEM exhaust performs great and it kept the noise level down. This meant i could actually get on it without every cop popping their head up.
I say keep the OEM exhaust. Even if you did get an exhaust its very likely it wouldnt give you the power boost you'd expect. Very few exhaust really make good power on this car without being very loud.

Just give the money you are spending on mods to your dad so you can then own the car and do what you want with it.
I would not be complaining if he bought you a sports car but won't let you put an obnoxiously loud exhaust on it lol.
