I have an 03 that I bought new that is 100% stock. Even has the original brake pads on it.

As far as I know (and have been able to tell), my '06 (55k) is stock. I bought it about 2 years ago. It even has the OEM head unit, though the CD player has stopped working, so I may have to replace it.

Mine had HKS exhaust and Comptech intake. I think for my next S the first thing would be converting the exterior to AP2 (if I bought an AP1) but if not I'd probably just install an intake and be done. I like the subtle note that you get out of having an intake, it isn't a timely install and it isn't very expensive.
I feel so old saying this but I'm kind of done with having a really loud car. I never noticed much of a power increase with exhaust and the days of "look at me my car is loud" are over.

It depends how you define "stock".
I consider my car to be stock, although I have replaced the brake lines with braided stainless steel, have the Rick's S badges and have the headrest wind blocker.

My 05 is heavily modified but still looks stock. Personally, i think it kinda depends on where you're looking or who you're talking too. If you search on this forum it will seem like every s2000 is modified but truth be told when I'm out in public every s2000 I've seen is stock for the most part. I've only ever seen other heavily modified s2000's at tuner shops and on this forum lol.

One of mine is lightly modified but with some newer OEM parts and the other is as many have said "pretty much stock", with intake, exhaust, mats, FlashPro and a few upgrades.

Wow, I suppose that pretty much takes the cake. With the exception of the tires, our S2000 was all original when we bought it last year. But I changed the battery out for peace of mind as the voltage was dropping pretty low upon startup. I also replaced the TCT with a Billman unit for peace of mind along with all of the other preventative maintenance I did. If it wasn't for the reputation of the OEM design I would have likely had just left it alone.
