Default Is your S2000 still complete?

Since this is a S2000 forum, I think we should be discussing the car once in a while.

After more than 10 years of ownership, I noticed that my car is no longer "complete". I think some things on this car are quite easily "lost" along the way. Here are some examples:
* The two mud flaps ahead of the two front tires. I no longer have any (although one of them is in my trunk).
* The two rubber nips inside the gas door. Only one is still attached on my car.
* The tonneau cover for the top. I still have mine somewhere in the house.

So please tell us what year model S2000 you have and whether your car is still complate. What have you "lost" along the way?

I haven't lost anything that I can think of, but then, my 2002 still has the original wipers in like-new condition.

I had an MY00 for about eight years, and it was fully complete. My 07 is not. I've added a few things and changed some. On both cars, I have replaced the pocked or cracked windshield, oh too many times.

Um ... no.

Let's see, I've lost the softtop. All the interior aft of the dash. The airbags, seat belts, seats, roll hoops. The original suspension is long gone. So are many of the brake components.

And there are a few new things, like the welded in roll bar, race seats, harnesses, fire extinguisher, video setup and datalogger, hardtop, new suspension and brakes. Stuff like that.

Our S is 10 years and 7 months old. I think it still has all its parts, even original brakes. Oh, not tires though, must be on the 5th or 6th set. (duh)
I also have the tonneau cover in the garage, never been on the car. I also have the "wing" that came with the car, which we were forced to buy, but asked that it not be installed. It's still in the box, brand spanking new.
I think we have replaced the wipers though, and of course the speakers.

I changed mine last week, the passenger side was beginning to show ware so I changed them both. As far as I know I still have all the parts to the car.

Everything is either on the car or in the garage except for the original brake lines.

My 2002 will be 8 years old on August 12th and is still 100% complete. I even have the original battery. The tires have been replaced but with oem S02s. I even still have the original windshield wiper fluid in the tank. The wiper fluid has never been used.

More importantly, does your S2000 still complete you?
