Default New owner and first time Honda Owner!

Hey everyone! I literally just picked up my s2000 about three hours ago, and I am so excited. Any suggestions for additional mods like antenna delete etc.? This forum looks to have tons of good information.

To be honest, I have always despised Hondas, but I drove this and instantly loved it. It's not as fast as my last car, but its so much more fun to drive; the convertible isn't too bad either

I did notice that there is a very tiny tear in my roof where the folds are, but it doesn't appear to be letting water in yet. This is my first convertible, so any advice on how to repair, or maintenance would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome!

You do have a very long antenna. You could perhaps get the OEM and put it back on.

Congrats. Read themikewoo signature page and you'll be good. Also, handa.com has oem parts including antenna. The one you have is crazy tall lol

Enjoy!

Thanks everyone! I'm glad it isn't just me- I thought the antenna looked ridiculous too.. I thought that was the OEM one... That is the first thing to go

Welcome to the greatness of the s2000!! Just curious, why have you always despised Hondas?

Welcome!! Nice BB btw

You are going to need to change the soft top elastic bands:



Or what I did for a while. I just pushed the soft top up to bend it better when folding in. But eventually it got really big tear and now I have a hardtop.....
