Nice job.. Just wondering why you have "s2000" emblem on one fender and not the other.

Meguiars FTW! Ben, what kind of badge is that on your driver's fender? Doesnt look like an s2000 badge.

The badge is a backyard special replica of the honda script logo from the S600.



This pic was from a couple of years ago before I got it painted. Lots of orangepeel in that factory paintjob, among other problems.

The reason there isnt one on the passenger side is because I was in a little scuffle with a cinderblock on the freeway a while back and that fender needed to be repainted. I left off the script logo until the paint was cured enough for me to buff it out. I'll put it back on this week, I promise.

Ben,

I met you once down in Lake Forest, I thought I saw the 7/8 Aero Screen on your S. What happened? People complain of too much reflection, is that the reason why you switched back to the OEM one?

Alright, here is the process:

My biggest problem was some deep swirl marks from the bodyshop work that had been done. So, I used the new Solo Professional line from Meguiars. This can be bought at bodyshop supply stores. It includes compound and pads.

1. Solo compound w/the yellow solo pad on my rotary
2. Solo compound with the black finish pad on the DA
3. Swirl Free polish with the tan finish pad on the DA
4. NXT on the DA
5. Topped with Carnuba
