If I do in fact go through with going wider in the front, I will most definitely look into running a stiffer FSB.

For all of my homies that are following me on IG, you know whats going on right now for the guys who dont know whats going on, my hood is nowhere in sight

There are a couple of DIY's out there talking about how to clean up used headers, so before the header gets installed it will be wetsanded and polished so it's nice and shiny

Thanks homie! ASM bumpers are on the back-burner right now. I bought what I thought was an authentic ASM front bumper from this guy Sang in cali, his name on here is jdms2000f20c I believe. Anyway, Im still in the process of trying to get my money back and send the bumper back because its a replica Hes been ignoring my PMs and I have gotten the admins of s2ki involved. Its a big mess. No ASM hood either lol.

ANYWAY

Here is a teaser of my hood for you guys

S~Factor is located in northern NJ and does a BUNCH of custom work that is just amazing quality. He is an awesome guy, and from the pictures he has sent me the hood looks really nice. I will be picking up the hood from his place next week! Here is a link to his vented hood thread.

Sorry to hear about the bumper, can't believe people sometimes. Hope you get that sorted out and find yourself another set. But on the other hand the hood looks great, seems like the company doest great work .

Yeah I definitely have learned from this whole experience for sure man. I didn't think there was people on this forum who did things like this. I hope it gets solved soon :/

S~Factor is just a fellow S2000 enthusiast who does all of this custom work out of his own garage man. His work is starting to spread around though man! He's now making custom splitters and diffusers for track cars and everything. Can't wait to get the hood back on my car and take some pictures

Pictures are a must along with a video with that ASM header. Any luck finding a Greddy SE single?

Well, the car is up on jackstands in the garage for winter so I won't put the header on until it gets a little warmer. I will definitely get a video of it. As far as a new exhaust, Id like to get a Greddy SE dual with blue tips just like on my first S2000

Figured you were going for the single to match the ASM bumper when you got one. Gonna be sick to see the exhaust back on your car again, can't wait.
