to apexracer,
have you considered bridgestone blizzak lm-25?
i drove both dunlop m3 and bridgestone lm-25 and lm-25 works better in snows and blizzards.

How are they otherwise?
One of the attributes I enjoy with the M3's is they do their job in the snow, but once the roads are cleared and dry they perform like a decent all season tire.
My experience with the Blizzaks WS-?? was absolute phenominal performance in the snow, but once the roads were cleared and dry, they were just too soft.
I'm not saying the M3's are an ultimate snow tire, I'm just saying for a dedicated snow tire, they tend to be more versitile.

I'll be getting hold of the steering rack changes but nothing else appeals at all.
The wheels & front bumper do not fit witht eh natural lines of the car, don't complement it which s a shame from honda. Rear spoiler i like and i'm glad it's been added but i can't see myself losing sleep over not seeing/driving a cr.
Everything else has already been done by aftermarket companies who won't cost-cut like oe gear. Seems the cr was a good enough concept, just dissapointed it's not wowwed me any further.

I think it is important for people who dislike/hate the CR to test drive one before commenting. Don't let the exterior be your only excuse to not liking the CR, it is only part of the whole experience of CR. I'm certain the driving experience will more than compensate for any cons seen in the CR.

Oh shnaps, didnt realize there was a CR owners thread haha.
Um, bout to hit 1k miles on mine. Bought it 11/30, in very heavy pouring rain BTW, and its been raining at least once a week. Haven't had a chance to take the hard top off. Go figure, no rain for 10 months, i buy a convertible and it won't stop raining
Here's the few pics that I did manage to take:
Can't wait to take this thing to Buttonwillow raceway.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Sorry if I am over sensitive about criticism, but it just gets old.
It is my understanding that Honda did a great deal of wind tunnel and track testing to develop the aerodynamics of this car. The wing is more aggressive than I would prefer for a street car, as I tend to be pretty conservative, however, the silly looking stuff works!! I can't wait to get it out to Gingerman track next spring and play with it. I think it will really shine on a nice twisty track or in Solo II. Spring can't come fast enough. I think my 993 has longer legs, but the S2000 CR will smack it on a tight track. Time will tell??
Apexracer, you're braver than I am!! I haven't driven an S2000 in the snow, but I can only imagine that it would be a skate. Be careful!!

I wish I could get hold of one. Trying to do a CR conversion here, except the laws are preventing me from getting that wing because it's considered dangerous (ie the ends of the wing could accidently hook on to ladies' purses and cause accidents, WTF eh?).
Nevertheless, there are people who don't (know how to) appreciate the aerodynamic improvements, and could only equate a wing to rice.
Besides, a lot of aftermarket wings out there make the car look 10x more hideous anyway ...
