Default Newbie, and a new S2000 owner

I traded in my 03 Accord Coupe tonight and got the 2001 Formula Red S2K that I've been eyeing. It was Honda Certified with only 19k on the odometer and 81k left on the Engine/Drivetrain Warranty. I'm in love. Pics are shitty because it was like 0degrees when I took these and they haven't detailed it as of yet. I'm taking it back in on Thursday for that. What do you think?





Very clean motor.





And what it will look like tinted hopefully this weekend.

Nice find and I am sure you will be very happy. What did you end up getting it for? if you don't mind me asking.


Don't tint the windows! It just asks for trouble with the police (at least around here) they ticket left and right for anything darker then 50%. And you should save your money for a hard top. NFR with hardtop is dead sexy!

Thanks. I've always liked tint on my cars not only to keep sunlight out but also for the looks. I'm not going to go any darker than 35%.

Thats the one that was on Mercury Blvd. I checked it out last week when I was with a friend of mine looking at the prelude that was right next to it. What did you wind up getting it for, I have been checking prices on all the local ones since I bought mine and I think he said like 24,000 then.

Are those winter tires on it?
The tinting looks ghetto imo.

Yea I got it from Williams Honda in Hampton. I paid their asking price of $22,999 only because I used a 03 Accord as a trade in and they paid it off for more than what it was worth due to high mileage.
