Killing me on helping make decisions. I've been tempted for a while to do a test pipe and flashpro with tune. Now I'm really thinking about doing it.

Yeah it seems to be a lot more elaborate endeavor for the older cars unfortunately.

Glad you like it! And copy away. 
I am not one of those show car guys that is obsessed with making their car unique, I just want to make my car look and drive exactly how I want it. You can find all the specs for my car on the first post, including wheel specs, dampers, alignment, etc. https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/983...-—-stage-ii/ — And happy to answer any other questions.
As I have mentioned and shown in the thread I have a few other wheel options i will be moving to sometime next year. But I really like the standard offset CE28Ns I have to say. I don't think I will get rid of them when I move to the new setups. I like the idea of being able to switch back and forth between a square and a staggered setup. 18s can look pretty nice if done right, but one of the nice things with 17" wheel is the tire cost.

In regards to switching back and forth between a staggered and square setup... Did you get a front sway bar? Would you run a staggered setup with a front sway? Just curious. I put my front sway (Eibach) on at the same time as my Ohlins so I have a hard time noticing exactly what the front sway did for me.
In regards to the hardtop... If you're talking about the Amuse I think you're talking about, please don't. I think you should buy another Amuse top directly from Amuse and have it be fresh and you can sleep well knowing that it was never used as a plug or used to create replica parts. I'd say go Mugen, but I think that OEM or Amuse would fit your car better. How perfect would an Amuse top be with your Amuse bumper and Amuse hood? I say go for it. Seriously that would look so, so good!
I think of it this way; at the end of the day what makes you the happiest? I like to think things over a million times and buy the part once. If an OEM top is what you like best, then it's only a matter of time until one pops up. But think of how awesome a CF Amuse top would be. Deciding which hardtop to get is a nice problem to have
