Unfortunately I know that song. Are you sure you don't want to move back to Upstate and go to concerts with Tom?

Thanks man, I read that, sat back and thought for a second and decided I'm f'ing pissed at Phil of N1Concepts because he does not call back
So I googled Bulletproof, pulled up their page, p[ulled up their contact, picked up the phone and called, f' it
Spoke to a wonderful guy on the phone who confirmed they have one in stock, and I just placed the order
Done, thanks.

no problem

I also use evasivemotorsports, kingmotorsports, gruppe-s (although they have been a bit iffy on customer followup service lately..), gotuning and one other I can't remember the name of.


bulletproof also makes my dream hardtop:

they take a spoon hardtop and modify it to have windows behind the driver and passenger windows.

Google is a good friend too.

Hey Ellen, Check it out. See what Cone_Mark just got
[quote name='Conedodger' timestamp='1309179620' post='20722766']
AP2 version 3. The silver ones, not the CR color. Have OEM tires on them with 7k miles. (215 and 245)
I don't like either one of you anymore

But we still love you

If I had more confidence in paint matching a Spa I would have this

yeah i love veilside. They also sell the hood I want.. Top Secret. but no money for it, and i'd have to get that and a new bumper to go with it (from evasive... Voltex is making a new s2000 bumper that i'm IN LOVE WITH... functional as HELL (or hellafunctional) and looks AMAZING).

le sigh. first things are first... fix saturn. Buy rear toe arms for S, buy radiator, fan switch, thermo and radiator hoses for S. Then will be time for new rear tires (already time actually..)


All that and my college loan kicks in july 15th... 500 bucks a month down the drain

absdynamics makes the veilside rear spoiler clone for like 130 bs the 440 for the veilside logo.
The reason it's a no-go for me was the double sided tape only install.
I'm a bolted on fan.

Jeff eluded to this subject in the D&D thread and rather than go off-topic in there I thought I'd bring the question up here...

What does everyone think about buying up "spare" stuff for their S? If you are planning on keeping your S long-term, what items
would you buy and put away to have when Honda no longer makes them?

First thing that came to mind for me was floor mats...I have a red set and a black set and I'm considering buying a new red set
(since that is what the car came with originally) and putting them away.

I am even considering a set of AP2 V1 wheels since they seem to get trashed over time, even if you don't drive the S in the snow.

I have a spare set of floor mats. Soft top and window seals seem like a good idea, but not sure if they can be kept in good shape during storage. (Seal in airtight black bag?) Wheels can always be refinished, so I'm not sure a spare set is necessary.
