I'm looking to do a couple genuine Honda upgrades to my S2k this year, and I'm just trying to clarify whether the parts I want to use were actually factory options for my model year (2005).

They are:

- Front Under Spoiler
- Side Strakes
- Titanium Shift Knob

I tried googling but couldn't find the info I was looking for. I realize these are genuine Honda parts, again I just want to know if they were factory options for the '05 model year or not.

 

Those are dealer installed options. The only factory option for that model year is paint color. The S2000 has never had any options at all in the North American market. All options were dealer add-ons. Once the CR came out, then there was the option of standard S2000, S2000CR with air and audio and S2000CR without air and audio. Still, those were three separate models.

 

Yes, those were available in 2005 from the dealer. Don't really understand why it matters to you though.

 

Thanks for the quick response, for whatever reason I thought parts like this would be installed by the factory.

 

I guess I just thought that's how it worked... is it typical for dealers to install all options on a brand new car, or does it depend on what you're having added?

 

no options. just accesories. only factory option is color.

 

There are factory options and dealer add ons. The only factory option for the s2000 in 05 was color. The dealer would sell and "install" add ons like the hard top, shift knobs, body kits, car cover, hard top stand, behind the seat organizer, and trunk net. All exhorbitantly overpriced money makers for the dealer and easy to install. (excepting the hardtop) They are , however, genuine Honda parts and subject to warranty.

 

Yep, no factory option just added cost dealer add-ons.

 

That clears up my confusion. Thanks!

 

You could also get a supercharger as a dealer option, just not in 05. And i believe interior color was a factory option for some colors.
