I have an oem hardtop - came with the purchase - but the truth is I hardly ever use it. Its hanging in my garage on a pulley system so it is very quick and easy to get on and off. Still, I hardly ever use it.

Your car looks great.

Looks great! My buddy has the same color car in an '02 model. Blue color grew on me. His is blue inside. Yours? A set of 17" OEM wheels in "gun metal grey" looks very nice on his car but his OEM wheels were horrible when he bought the car. Tires are the vital performance area on these cars and there are more choices with the 17".

These cars are claustrophobic (for me) with the roof up and a hard top won't help. If you want to enjoy the car for years keep it off the road in the winter.

Proper H-badges are available.

I get it! So far, I basically have driven with the top down at all times. Will eventually be picking up a hardtop for track duty.

It is definitely blue inside and a bit much to be honest haha. Yes, I am not a fan of these S badges that are almost the same color as the car. Will be replacing them.

Unfortunately after my drive this morning, my passenger window won't roll up... So, time to figure that out.

The drivers door child safety switch disables all passenger window control from both passenger as well as drivers window switch for passenger side.

So check that rocker switch on drivers door first...

Very Nice!!! I also have a hard top, I do not think I will use it much, but it is nice to have. It goes on and off so easily it makes it convenient if needed.

I agree with the badges, I am not sure why people like the "S" badges, I do not think they look good at all, but everyone is different. New Wheels will make a Huge difference!!

New owner probz... the window was just the rocker switch. I must have hit it by accident.

Yes, dislike the S badges, at least on this car. I have seen it look better with other color schemes, but this baby blue on Suzuka just makes it feel more feminine to me. Prob debadging the sides and will try out the fender "S" in their place. If I don't like it, I l'll order some real badges.

Although my dog normally isn't the biggest fan of car rides, I found out she too digs the S2k!
