A front spoiler protects the front bumper from scrapes. To protect your stock car, that would be beneficial. Also consider a mat or a towel to protect the back window (oops, I guess yours isn't plastic?) when the top is down. Gas fill spill protector is nice.

It is a wonderful car stock, even on the track.

That said, would I prefer to undo the mods I have done? No way, Jose'!

IMO, the front lip is a must unless you're going to really lower the car. It puts the finishing touches on the front end.

I have the OEM front lip, rear spoiler and side strakes on my Spa yellow and I think they make the car look more aggressive than without (even with the black ruber gasket material). Plus, it just looks good with them. I wouldn't go with the mud flaps(although I've never seen or heard of them for the S). Just something about mud flaps on a roadster that makes me shudder. However, if this is going to be a daily driver, then maybe they might be a good thing. There is a fellow member named SanMarinoCoupe that owns a Ganley Honda dealership here in Cleveland that migh get you a good deal on some of the items you want.

I purchased mine with no options because the car is perfect just the way it is.

I will be purchasing a hardtop in the future but not for $2500.

I got front lip, side strakes, rear spoiler, locking lug nuts, alarm, car cover.

Order of Importance:
alarm
locking lug nuts
front lip
rear spoiler
car cover
side strakes

But like above forum respondents it pays to shop around. The dealer might not give you a good deal. HARDTOPGUY highly recommended for OEM.

Good Luck and Enjoy your S

The only options that you really need are the 6 cd changer because its way too hard to change cds while you're driving, and the rear speakers, typically from Lucid. The rear speakers "fill" the car with sound much better then turning the volumn up with only the front speakers.

The Alpine CHM-S630 can now be had for about $180 and the Blitzsafe cable is about $80. Much better deal then buying the changer from the dealer.

I considered a hard top, but I take my top down all winter. I don't feel that I want it, but it may be worth your while.
