So I am getting a good amount of money back from taxes soon so I want something new on the S2000...here's how she sits as of Feb 20 when I get her back from the paint/body shop. Brand new headlights, taillight, oem blue soft top, oem front lip, skunk2 lowering springs, berk tech test pipe, k&n drop in filter, mugen knob...I am leaning towards works or amuse exhaust since that is what popped up for sale on s2ki.com please make some suggestions. Car is an 06 LBP.

Get the wheels

Yeah, I'd say wheels would make the biggest visual impact.

I voted hardtop, not a fan of the blue soft top. Wheels would of been second choice.

voted... i think white with chrome lip would look good on the lbp..

17x9 in the front and 17x10's in the back with +45's or lower.... oh man that would look so nice!

I am not a fan of the rivets on the lip of the 3 piece. Blue Soft Top look tits on a LBP.

BBSick
02-03-2009, 10:05 PM
Full polished staggered CPRs, Dunlop CPRs, maybe white regas, or sw388s

rudsone
02-03-2009, 10:13 PM
and all those are 17's?

i didnt know the sw's came in 17...

get 17" staggered cpr's with offsets in the low 30s!

...if not then get the mugen hard top

BBSick
02-03-2009, 10:42 PM

I just ordered a pair of wheels from here. Everything is listed in Australian dollars, so you'll have to convert it (and have it shipped from Australia) but they have some cool wheels. I should have them within a week or so, so I'll let you know if they're legit or not:poke::sad1:

Get the wheels!!! But next deff. get the hard top, I think s2ks with hard tops look 10x better than without.

BBSick

Agreed the hardtop makes a world of difference
