WOW! Would the owner of this S2K # 5989, please stand up!

Well, that would be me. All I have to say is I respect everyones opinion, so please respect mine. Believe it or not, I am not a kid, but a 30 year old with a beautful wife, home, and a six figure income to boot.

The S2K is my "toy." It is not my first car nor my second or third. It is not my only car nor will it be my last. I enjoy taking it out and making it scream.

Remember that old saying, "never judge a book by its cover;" the same holds true here. The reason for all the logos and stickers are for sponsorship deals and SCCA auto-crossing.
The rims are ugly in some opinions, but all I have gotten is compliments. Judge userself. They are 17" FoCal R3 rims in Chrome with Red Rivets. http://www.focalwheels.com/noflashr3wheels.htm

The gauges are extremely popular and convenient. The dual pod is great in saving space (even used as a 2" Quartz Clock holder by some). www.autometer.com

The dual steering wheel cover by WheelSkins will go perfectly with my Rick Leather Shift boot and Center Console accessories (Yes, I even ordered that too). http://www.s2000fans.com/accessories/rick.php
Thanks Rick!
(Rick, have any stickers?)

My HKS exhaust is a screamer and I love the fact that I was part of a great group. The exhaust was imported directly from Japan and is specifically made for the S2000. Thanks Gampiero! (Gampiero, Do you want to send me any MG Racing stickers?) http://www.hksusa.com/html/exhaust.htm

I even picked up the CAVALLERESCO body kit from MG Racing. That too is going to go on my car.

Can't forget my friends over at RM Racing either. My whole engine interior comes from them. Actual picture: http://www.club-s2000.com/images/Shows/new...ope0930/pa3.jpg

And I am not stopping there, I am also getting the Comtech SuperCharger http://solar.innercite.com/comptech/media/...0_installed.jpg and NOS kit # 05123 from http://www.nosnitrous.com/

Some might appreciate my efforts, while others might not. Some might wish they have the expendable capital to do it while others do not. Some might like to do the same and some might not. Regardless, I enjoy it, I have fun with it, and I have meet some great people because of it.

Everyone has an opinion. Now that we know who it is that Bieg was speaking of, lets not take this any further. I think anything else said on this subject would be a personal attack against someone else. End of story. Lets all play nice...I really don't want to lock this thread, but will if this continues.

power6speed,

Aren't you concerned that the paint on your car will eventually be blemished by all those stickers? The sun and rain will age the paint at different rates and you will wind up with permanent damage.

BTW the wheels are nice except for the yellow centers IMHO.

Hey Power,

If you get the SC, how little are you willing to take to part with your RM Racing air filter?

First dibs guys...

It does concern me, but that is why they are vinyl stickers. They could come off at anytime and I never leave them on for more then 1 season of shows/racing. The car gets a complete detail job every month using Meguire's three step wax system.

As to the center caps, I have to concur. I don't necessarily care for the yellow centers , but that is the only way they come.

By the way "no misunderstandings here!"

You will have first dibs on it when it comes to full wishing. Send me an email and we could talk about it offline.
