Color chart:
I live in Colorado, S2000's overall are very rare cars here. I didn't even know that Laguna Blue existed as a color, all I saw were Suzuka's. Then I saw a Laguna at work one day and knew it was the color for me.
At the last Cars & Coffee meet, 5 Laguna Blue's showed up. There were more Laguna's than silver S2000's. It's actually become quite the joke around here, since the LBP's are one of the rarest of the non-CR colors.

I was browsing for roughly 4 years before actively looking for one.
Lucked out and found one in Vancouver, but they are definitely hard to find in good shape.
I'd say there's more lagunas by the coasts. Most I've seen were Cali/Oregon, and then Florida had a few decent ones.
Had to buy one from the states, as Canada had only a handful of the color, and called it Bermuda Blue instead.

Looks super clean! After I saw the Laguna Blue on the s2000 I fell in Love ever since. I should come over to Cars and Coffee and see if I can scout one out haha, but that would be quite the drive for me from Cali.I was browsing for roughly 4 years before actively looking for one.

If you get an 06 you will need a Flashpro. It was the first year with drive-by-wire and IT SUCKS! The default tune on the flash pro fixes what honda messed up. It also allows you to lower vtec engagement and raise redline so you don't fall out of the power band between 1st and 2nd gear.

There's a bit of a hit right as it switches, but you don't feel it. What you do feel is steady power (the area under the curve) through that entire rev range, rather than bog bog bog GO VTEC like normal.

having owned 2 AP1's I can attest to my own 06 AP2 being a total shit hole to drive before flashpro I went in an changed a bunch of stuff before upgrading hoping it fix the lumpy power band and overall poor performance. Nothing worked. I did the flashpro canned tune and boom smoothed everything out. The car drives like normal. I can point to a few issues specifically. Hesitation on heavy throttle pre-vtec, at the vtec engagement point there was a noticeable drop in power momentarily before hitting vtec, then the vtec band was smooth.
I changed the plugs, got a valve adjustment, changed the DBW module with no success. Flashpro fixed it. Could have just saved the money from all the other shit and just got the flashpro from the start.
I have done some research. While not all experience the issues I had it is something that many have and honda has acknowledged it. I read somewhere that the dealer was offering reprogs to the ECU but when I called to have them do it they wanted to run an expensive battery of tests to make sure it wasn't something else. Not really worth being bent over by the dealer...

I should also add that on hard gear changes the traction control would engage at weird times and stay engaged meaning no throttle control AT ALL... Dangerous! I've have to completely take my foot off the pedal for it to disengage. That issue went away after I changed the module.

In Canada they sold ABP in base S2000s but it's ultra rare. Only seen one for sale. Even on the CR though it's hard to find.
