Default S2000 Resolutions for 2018?

Thought it might be interesting to read what S owners have planned for their cars in 2018. Upgrades? Mods?

I have a stock '06. I plan to replace the head unit. My OEM unit's CD player failed, so I'll upgrade it and probably take the OEM unit apart to repair it if possible. I also plan to remove my front bumper to repair the curb damage from a previous owner. My plan is to prepare & repaint the lower couple of inches of the bumper. I think that I can use the contours to help make the repair less noticeable.

I may also look into getting my OEM leather seats replaced. I haven't decided on whether to tackle this myself or have an expert do it.

Happy New Year!

New trans and motor mounts
Izze kit and air injection valve block off/removal of system
new front underbody plastics
redo the leather on the drivers bolster or get some Bride seats
new strikers and latches for the top
new stereo
Trans fluid

So nothing major, just basic maintenance/restoration type stuff
