First off get Wheels and drop it an 1". Next get rid off the heavy exhaust and add some ballz to the car.

Everyone has their own preference in bodykit. I would have a look at Bulletproofautomotive.com and see what you like. Goodluck. And with $8000 you will be a happy camper w/ a ton of mods unless you feel the need for more speed then get a supercharger.

If i had 8g lying around I'd do supercharger, exhaust, and prolly slap an amuse front lip on it.

If not that I'd go w/ amuse front lip, j's racing cai, exhaust, 1" drop, new rims, um... damn i wish i had that kind of decision to make

my vote is for the mastergrade widebody.

If you are going to go wild then this is the way

http://www.mastergrade.net/widebody.html

if you are looking for the JDM approach then go with Kawagen
http://www.s2000.com/tuning_routeks.php

Rare mod but expensive, the diffuser in the rear rocks!!

The Veilside hood is sexy

http://www.s2000.com/tuning_veilside.php

kit is good but some think it is too out there or just ugly, so use discretion

with all kits you should mold it and not bolt it, but again, very expensive

Check the Wild Thread for some inspiration
http://forums.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=172115

And try to PM jcarlton for pics from his gallery

https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showuser=17197

he has the nicest S I have been in front of personally. he decided to mix Mastergrade front end pieces with Veilside hood which hides his S/C quite nicely. The car looks like an oil spill, it is so shiny. Add the tasteful lighting and interior he has done and you have a more than decent mid level show car

Hope this helps

Unfortunately these kits will sack your 8K rather quickly. I would mod the rest of the car heavily and keep it stock on the body till later. 8K buys lots of engine stuff and interior upgrades

Good luck and keep us up to date on your progress

Put it towards the payments unless you have it paid off. If you have it paid off, put it in an IRA.

body kits are

But to each his own I guess.
