Way to be a dick

not everybody buys mods so they can perform better on the track or to make it run better.... I bought a strut bar to make my engine bay look nicer. I bought trim pieces for the interior and an AP2 radio door. I also plan on getting a hardtop.

None of those will actually make the car perform better but thats not always peoples #1 priority. Try to be a little more open minded next time.
my apologies for being a "dick". If you would have read the whole thing, you would see that I stated clearly "i'm just as guilty". The only thing i'm frustrated about is the comment from the other use saying "that guy" when i put down good for clear side markers. I just put my opinion down and then I get slammed. boo

The only bad part about all those mods at once, it's going to be hard to tell what made what changes.

T1R 70R Sparrow Dual = Sticking with the duals! Nice!
Bilstein PSS9 Coilovers = Let us know what you think!
J's Torque Damper = purely for looks IMO, mostly for JDM bling effect
J's Heat Shield = Could have saved some cash and used a hole saw on the OEM one.
J's Front Strut Bar = Again, for looks. S2000's have a large brace under the air box.
J's Front Tow Hook = Are we on a J's mission or what? LOL
JDM Clear Side Markers = The CR ones are OEM and alot cheaper
OEM Front Lip = Nice!
OEM Antenna = bastards!
Password JDM Hood Damper = cheaper ones exist but this must be for the JDM look!
K & N FIPK = What No JDM piece here? The FIPK is one of the worse ones I have played with. Should have modded the stock box and added a J's snorkel or some other JDM piece.

But hey, Don't let me hate on your style! to having your own flavor

wheels make the personality of the car IMHO - if I were to do it again wheels would be the first purchase.

But finding the right set, with the right offset, the right stagger and for under $3k with tires is nearly impossible

any set of volks and new rubber should be less than $3K - unless you're thinking mega-bling like LM's or something.

but yeah, tough decision - I still remember how I tormented my wife for days the first time I bought wheels by asking the same question 3254 times = *holding a picture in each hand* "which one looks better?"
