Thanks guys for the comments. I'm really happy how the car is at the moment, but modding never ends for this car. Soon it'll just keep evolving into something special.

Evasive sells the badge. Only the truly worthy may wear it, lol

It probably won't happen yet...the right conditions have to be set in order for me to obtain the KWV3's, and to deal with the extra cost and maintenance for a true coilover setup. Hopefully it'll happen soon.

Some new pics to add to the collection. I love how the hardtop makes it easy to plant a GoPro and get some cool looking angles that was not possible with a softtop.







And a video!

you didnt have to add that white vinyl on the windshield frame, the black around the frame is actually vinyl, if you peel off the black vinyl it is painted oem white underneath

I did that on purpose so I could go back to black if I wanted to.

It's been some time since my last update. I'll add some pics here to show the new drop with the Swift Spec-R springs on the OEM CR suspension. Due to the drop, I had to sell-off the lip protector since it was getting banged up from the driveway.








My next plans are to get some Recaros or Brides, as it's been due for some new seats. I'm likely to sell the Clazzio seat covers, but I don't quite want to sell the OEM seats because it would seem to be so difficult to find '06 seats for sale used around the Bay Area. And although this CR/Type S stage is complete, I feel like I want to get the next set of upgrades. Here's some more upgrades/updates I've added:







The sweet OEM Premium floormats from the group buy thread, and the re-wrapped Alcantra Steering wheel by EuroBoutique. These are really nice to have, but I should have gone with a seat upgrade first, and I'll try to get to that this year, I hope

Looks awesome! I like the swift spec-r on CR suspension. Do you rub at all during hard cornering?

I do really like the part, just not the price that comes with it. Unfortunate that JPM has stopped wrapping steering wheels. s4play just so happens to fill that gap.

No, I have not had an issue with bottoming out or rubbing. The car certainly feels capable even when encountering hairpin turns.

Yea, it was not cheap, but since there wasn't a lot of options when it came to replacing the wheel, and it was installed locally in his shop very quick and easy, I feel it was a necessary addition. The OEM wheel before had lots of scuffs and wear from before I had owned the car. The Alcantara material is quite nice and I love the look of it.

Realized I haven't really updated this thread in a while. Here's a few recent photo's I've done with my S2000.
