I agree, the cut outs don't look that good in the pictures, but trust me, it looks really good in real life. The rear end is probably my favourite bit of the car.

Strut brace is ASM.

Thanks, and the car is over four years old now

I don't comment often, but I have to on this, it's simply superb.
Great job, very tasteful.

That is stunning .

The wheels, the hardtop, the front bumper/splitter, the ride height - all perfect!

Everything - including the engine bay - is SO clean!

Do I see aftermarket seats/steering wheel Any interior pics at all?

Chris, It's very nice and very nicely done. Did Honda paint the engine bay cross member or did you have that done?

That looks lovely Chris...absolutely sublime.

I really like the look of the back end...although the badges look a bit big to be those specifically for the S...perhaps a bit too big for the car IMHO. I'm not 'digging' the location of the front plate either, although I understand why you didn't want to ruin the bumper

I dare say the underside is bloody immaculate too...got any photos to prove it? Wouldn't mind seeing the rest of that exhaust...it looks rather special

I think a mods list is in order so we can appreciate the selection of all your components

Can't believe you've missed the first mod on alot of people's lists though: clear side repeaters

The seats are Recaro and the steering wheel is an OEM Honda S2000 Type V VGS steering wheel modded to fit.

No interior shots at the mo', but it is nicely modded inside as well

Thanks

Honda painted the cross member.

But Porsche painted the aftermarket body panels

Chris.

Looks lovely Chris, very understated and tasteful

VGS and Recaro's as well

What hardtop is that btw and is your front plate fully legal or a 3/4 sized one?

Now then Chris, i like it a lot .

Its very tasteful put together, done properly and all the bits go well together.

I spy some very expensive part, i estimate you've spent around 5-7k on 'all' the aftermarket bits .
