The S2000 is a damn fine car from the showroom;but there are certain areas that can be improved upon.

Unfortunatley these can cost a lot of $$$ and if you don't do your homework,offer little if no gains or even worst have a negative effect.

Choose wisely grasshopper

I am a purist. The only thing I may modify are the wheels and or the stereo. Only if I have money burning a hole in my pocket which usualy I don't. I look at it this way I am only too happy to have an s2000 05. I have a wife and two kids 9 and 12. Enough said, I am very lucky

The only things that I immediately plan on doing are gears and an intake, just because I like the sound.

My buddy has an 04 and so I want mine to be a little different - he has a blue top and for winter a hardtop and winter wheel set. I have clear side markers and a Voodoo shift knob with a Rick's LPH. No major mods but I'd like a second set of wheels (02+ NSX ?)

Modding cars (even with little or no gain in performance) is part of the fun in owning the car. Almost all cars can benefit from I/E, I like having something different than the next guy.
Big spoilers and decals are a no-no for me, but I do like personalizing and expressing myself with the cars I drive.

As they say, the grass is always greener on the otherside.

You just want more and more... as good as the stock is, there's always room for improvement. It might not be always performance related, changes in the styling/sound department can definately make me enjoy my ride even further.

I voted, but the wording of your options shows bias.
