Sorry my post got stuck at the top. I have edited it out to be fair. Even though I still think S2000GT is the best.



EDIT: We had some server issues yesterday that rearranged posts. This is why you are seeing this thread start with a quote instead of Black Nugget's run downs. Unfortunately we cannot simply delete the first post of a thread without messing things up royally.

Default OFFICIAL "OCTOBER RIDE OF THE MONTH" POLL

S2000GT:
My 04 was going to be kept stock. That plan didn't work out too well! There really isnt any one bodykit out there that I liked in its entirety, so I decided to take the best parts from various tuners and make my own style. The main parts are Airwalker sides, Mugen 3 piece wing, Top Secret CF Diffusor on an Ings+1 rear and a Top Secret front bumper. I have just finished my full CF audio install using products from JL Audio and Alpine. Wheels are powdercoated Black Chrome, along with most of the engine bay. This car is all about the little details - the shaved door locks, the shaved trunk, the stubby antenna, the painted sidemarkers, the cleared 04 headlights etc - i get a kick when people just notice something on the car they have been looking at for weeks! In the works: new 18s are being finished in black chrome and Ill be installing a cusco cage over the winter. If you guys like what I have done so far - VOTE FOR ME!

JsAP1:
My list of mods is too long. I can tell you I bought the car in 2001 and have been modding it ever since on top of it being my daily driver even though we have 2 cars.
I will give you a list of brands that I have parts from though...
Aragosta, Toda, Mugen, Spoon Sports, Work, J's Racing, HKS, Craft Square, Goto Garage

Rogue3308:
I appreciate being nominated this month. I have realy gone with "the clean" look for my car. The car is a 2002 Suzuka Blue. I have Mille Evo wheels with Kumho tires, Comptech exhaust and CAI (Thanks Rich). Calipers are painted silver with G2 paint. OEM Front lip,rear wing and hard top (Thanks HARDTOGUY.COM). I have Grill Tech 3 piece grills (Thanks Tim) with a DOHC badge from my man Scott Evil's old Acura Integra. Lights are cleared with Rick's JDM Diffusers (Thanks DAVE1)and clear side markers. Mastergrade cooling plate (Thanks Popeye), Comptech STB and oil cap (again Hardtopguy.com) , Optima battery and Tien hood dampers painted blue (by me). Sound system consists of Alpine HU, SoundStream and Phoenix Gold Amps pushing Infinity Components and an Alphasonic Sub Woofer.(Thanks PAS2KNUT)
Voodoo shift knob and 2004 radio door finish her off. I have enjoyed shaping the car to my liking. I am not real big on vented hoods,large wings or wide body kits. I enjoy the clean look I have now. My only other mod would be to lower the car an inch or 2. Maybe Santa will bring me some coilovers for Christmas. Thanks again for the nomination and good luck to everyone who is participating. These cars are so much fun.

[I]Firstly, I have to thank Poindexter for nominating me for ROTM. I bought the car new back in 2000. It sat as a garage queen the first year, and then from there, I just enjoyed the

Jakub2000:
My car is a 2003 EUDM painted in custom black metalic, powered by a LoveFab turbo kit runing 8psi and 325whp. I am trying to improve, but not to change the classic look of this car, shaving off all the badges and making the side indicators nearly invisible to let the eye focus on the pure lines of the body. A Top Secret bumper,hood and hood lifters set this car apart, rolling on 17" VOLK CE28N and throwing flames from a custom made dual 3" exhaust. Head lamp housing and dashboard trim are painted to match the color of the car. I keep it clean and fast instead of rice and last.
