Default Got some new stuff this weekend

So I just recently bought a 2006 Laguna blue s2000. It had the original top on it and it's been a Florida car its entire life so it was in ok shape, kinda grey with a little patched up tear. My first purchase was a Robbins fabric top. Also, I ordered the oem lip and a new shift knob to restore some life into the interior. I just want to change out the boot next and then on to the big stuff. Here are some pics. Just another s2000 for now but I love it!

Thanks. I found another site that I also liked that lets you change how high the shift boot sits. I forgot what it was it. I'll look it up after work and post it up to see if anyone has any experience with them.

Man I love laguna blue pearl. Can't wait to completely repaint and do a color change to LBP in a few years.

Thanks guys. I'm loving this car more and more each day. So I was just checking up on the shift boot again, turned out the site I was thinking about was moddiction, which lists redline as the manufacturer of the boot lol. Only thing is, I don't see on redline where you can choose the different size shift boot like you can on moddiction..? Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Shift boots are interchangeable from AP1 to AP2, so no issue there as long as it's S2000 specific.

You really want a leather one. The cheap vinyl isn't really that nice. Same goes for the console cover...real leather looks a lot better than the vinyl the car has.

Congrats on the new ride! Looks great. That poor OE shift knob looked like it was gnawed on by a badger

And then on to the big stuff? What "big stuff?" The car is stunning now.

Despite the fashion trends the car does NOT need aftermarket wheels or suspension. It will benefit from a Hondata FlashPro tune. Perhaps a new intake and exhaust which at least improve the aural experience. Save the OEM parts so you can put them on the car when you sell it.

Good tires are the easiest performance item.
