Good catch Levi, the seats and door panels are black and blue. Photo's are not that clear on my non High Def monitor.

Well with no frame damage your price sounds like a good deal. I really want a silver one so I tracked one down in Houston, TX today and am in process of setting up shipping.

Prices are in Canadian dollars, about 35% higher than the USA. Also, there are only about 50 S2000's for sale in the peak season here in Canada which will also inflate prices. Importing these cars with the dollar at a low point is really not worth it, dollar at par will certainly be worth the trouble.

I'm not totally sure, but wasn't that car from a s2ki member? I think I remember seeing it here in the forum in the past, or maybe at a car meet.

All 10 VIN tags on the body panels? The car has the front H emblem removed and the H at the rear is not OEM either. Aftermarket wheels of unknown diameter with unknown tires need to be addressed. (Few aftermarket wheels fit properly.) Tires OEM stagger? Frame rust from winter driving? Is the rear wing OEM (these were dealer installed)?

New roof is a big plus and the mileage isn't bad. Nor the price in $CDN. Rarity in the GWN will affect price as well.

Hard to pass judgement for me too many factors to deal with. The car is not stock and would not maintain "value" (what ya can sell it for) here.

Yea, that blue interior is certainly very unusual. Is it possible the car was re-painted?

Honda offered GPW w/the full blue interior in Canada in 03. Looks original to me.

Any opinions on this one? Already got a few opinions on my introduction thread, would like a few more. If I pull the trigger, it would be without the hardtop and with both sets of wheels for $15,500.
