Ok, the fenders are just stunning, I always keep them lubed up so I can run the palm of my hand over them.
Also I love the dual exhaust of ap2, the oval tips when polished just pop so nicely they give me a hard on.

I finally got to take the car out after nearly two months sitting in my garage from an unfortunate string of tire blowouts one after the other, the first thing I feel I appreciate most as soon as I start the car are lights. I know most people would say the engine eor the gearbox or the awesome seats or even the fit. But really as soon as I got in, turned the key and switched on the headlights, the incredible light output made me smile most. It's just so sharp and bright. Anyone else feel the same? This might just be a rant bc I'm happy to have the car back lol

AP1 > AP2v1 > AP2v2 in terms of projectors
the 04-05 and 06+ use the same projectors, but the 06+ have fresnel lenses
AP1s are just straight up better than all

That was the only thing I was slightly dissapointed with regarding my ap2. The lights were not as good as I was expecting (used to ap1's on my accord) and I test drove everyone during the day.
I did not know the different between ap2's though. What is a fresnel lens? something to soffen the cutoff?

I've never heard anyone say AP1 headlights were better before this post, just complaints about the early years with the bubbling issues, but the beam pattern on S2000s is among the best I've ever experienced - wide and very bright across their spectrum.
