Ok so far here is everything that you do not already have that you could get for under $200 that would get you some kind of points at a show:
strut bar (front or rear)
radiator cooling plate
spark plug cover
short-throw shifter
shift knob
e-brake handle
pedal covers
side markers
emblems
radiator hoses
battery tie-down
oil cap
radiator cap
hood dampers
resavoir covers
thermostat
fan switch
oil catch can
test pipe (make sure to get CEL fix with it)
driveshaft spacers
lowering springs
lug nuts
brake rotors (do new pads with them though, but I'd say a must if you're running 19s)
CF exhaust cap
tinted windows
lower tie bar
Zoom CF rearview mirror (runs $215 from AJ-R)

Since you're doing shows I didn't mention any used parts, but you could possibly find some used parts that would work for shows. There are a few more little components that could get you points depending what kidn of show you're in, mainly chassis braces. Good luck in the show circuit, sorry if the list is too long!
thanks that's one hell of a list! Thank you all for the suggestions!

Ditto on the wax. Go online and get a package deal from someone like autogeek. Good quality cleaning and wax products are not cheap.

Krank Vents and steel braided vacuum lines or something. I think a flat black valve cover would look cool.

What exactly do Krank Vents do? Also, is this a DIY project?

Too bad you missed out on the sun visor covers - they are sweet!



I'm not sure if any are left for sale, they go quick, but maybe you can get a gb together.

Definite DIY project. Can be done in about 15 minutes.

For the install instructions, go here and do a search:
http://forums.s2000turbo.com/index.htm


The thread you will find says this, but the pictures won't transfer over.

There seems to be many people who do not know how to install these units properly. So I am going to try and explain them here in this thread:

Each Krank Vent Mini Kit comes with two units that go inline with the PCV hose and crankcase breather



Just take the existing hose and place the krank vents here:


Note that the fatter one goes on the crankcase breather side and the narrower one goes on the PCV side.


You should put the krank vents in your mouth and on one end, blow through it. Stay on the driver side fender facing the passenger side fender. You are essentially pretending you are the intake manifold. You should NOT be able to blow air towards the engine this way. If you can blow air through it, just flip it around and then install it. This is the same for both PCV and crankcase breather krank vents.

Snip the hose and install the krank vents in the proper direction. Tighten on the supplied hose clamps and you are done.

For those with a catch can:
If you have a catch can, you must place the krank vent in the hose that goes immediately out from the crankcase. In this order: crankcase valve cover hole ----> Catch can ---> Krank Vent --> Vacuum


You may also just have a breather filter instead of connecting it back directly to a vaccum source -- for the crankcase breather side one...the PCV side needs to be connected to the intake manifold for a vaccum source at all times.
