my vote is for the mastergrade widebody.

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

if you are looking for the JDM approach then go with Kawagen

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

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
Rice-a-rific. I'd cringe if I saw any of those cars coming down the road.

well, instead of throwing out recommendations, i compiled my thoughts and ideas of all my mods on my site. take a look and it might help you brainstorm. and pardon the dust. i'm still far from finished with both the car and the site.

to me it sounds like you're more interested in a show car than a performance car.

also, everything is subjective. one person might love the Veilside or Mastergrade kit, while someone else would never slap that stuff on their ride. you'd be better off going to a HIN show and seeing what you like, what fits, etc etc.

but i do like the deep dish wheels idea.



lambo doors.... god. please don't. but it's your cash
