I would wait on SC for now, and you can always get the kit later.

I would get the basics first..... new wheels and tires, lower the car, clear side markers, ACT or Clutchmaster clutch, Toda Flywheel, Exhaust, JR Filter, and Denso Plugs

thanks all. I think a have decide that I'll get the sc... I'm getting sc because I don't want an armani suit that I don't need... It's a graduation present. I'll make my own body kit. I've always wanted to do that. I'll post more info later. If anyone wants to sponsor me with building a prototype body kit with my design, let me know. thaks

Your gonna need that SuperCharger if you hang all that heavy fiberglass off the car! Personally I think body kit detract from the S2000. As for the SuperCharger. Why don't you get the car and drive it for awhile before you go changing it so drastically?

i've studied the car for a while. Ever since it first came out. It is very purist's car, and it emboddies all the japanese minimalistic design that honda is known for. However, for a sports roadster, the front of the car needs little more edge, a face that could back up the performance that s2000 has. The front side tunnels are useless, (it's blocked up by a cheap plastic part) and the front noise doesn't accentuate the beautiful line that comes down from the hood. It also doesn't really go with the very unique and aggressive headlights, (the alignment of the healights and the front airdam). I agree that I should drive it for a while before I decide, but I have been into this car for so long, it's ridiculous. I'll post some of my ideas on how the car should look, because the front bumper looks like a last generation honda civic.

It's beneficial for me to get sc or vs now, cause I'm getting it for free as my graduation present.

I think I speak for many here when I say that I would love to see your sketches for ideas on S2000 changes. Perhaps you could get a job with Honda designing the S2000 ver. 2.0!

Also, nice graduation gift. I got a 10year old Toyota Cresida with a 140,000 miles, and a pat on the back.
