It's an excellent event! Lots of gorgeous cars and nice, easy-going people as well. A good number of local S2000 owners (myself included) attend every month. Check out the Carolinas section of this forum... there should be an information thread soon for the next one on May 5. I'll keep ya posted

And yep, I do have an Injen cold air intake. I'm slightly addicted to the sound.

There is absolutely no reason to paint match NFR. It is a solid color and does not require blending.

Sorry to hear it. I knew there was going to be a problem when you said sandals.

I'm using Performance Auto Body in Cary. I went to them 2 years ago when I messed up my front bumper enough to warrant a repaint They were recommended by Cary AutoPark Honda and I liked them enough to return.

As to Wolf Village, I'm not sure. Where exactly is that? I live in Trailwood Hills and thus can often be found driving down Avent Ferry, Western Blvd, Centennial Pkwy, Gorman Street, etc.
I actually live in the same area, near Gorman and Kaplan. I've probably seen you around before, haha. There is another NFR AP2 (06+ with the AP2V2 wheels) that I see parked often on NC State's campus and Wolf Village, which is the large apartment complex at Western and Gorman.

Once the car is restored back to its former glory, you should join us for our local monthly meets at Cars and Coffee! NFRs are somewhat under-represented

Eh, I don't really blame the car too much. I was wearing 8 year old worn (i.e. super smooth bottom) Rainbow sandals with damp feet.

The soles of your shoes dont't have to be worn out, they just have to be wet. You'll notice this same situation again when the weatheris bad regardless of how new your shoes may be.
