I must be missing something. What makes that car so special? Looks pretty plain to me. I don't really care for the dark wheels either.

Not hatin on it (I love my GPW), but I just don't understand enough about this one, or it's owner I guess, to know why it's so special.

I guess it really comes down to your own personal taste. Previously owning a 3rd gen integra, i can definitely say modding the S2000 requires alot more funds. Just the wheels and hardtop alone are worth more than 3000 dollars. Alot of the S2k's on this board are mainly stock, so its nice to see something different. Also, Rodrez's photography makes Loi's car look better than it actually is . J/k Loi

Listen,

Like I said, I just don't know anything about the car other than what I saw there in the pictures. So I could tell it had wheels, and some bodywork, and a hardtop, but knew nothing of it's other modification.

I have not done anything to my car, and probably won't. I like it very much the way it is. I've added audio upgrades and GPS, but that's about it.

I am very, very new to the whole "modding" scene, and prior to my S2000 had never owned or even desired a Japanese car. So again, please bear with me, and help me understand what makes this car so special.

Thanks

My last vehicle was an SUV that was modified quite a bit. S2000 mods are DIRT cheap by comparison. My regular servicing on that vehicle was $400-1200 dollars compared to the $30-$90 I pay for my Honda. It's all relative.

Again, I wasn't hatin' on the car, but knowing nothing of it's background, I didn't understand why people were so gaga over it.

I'm sure that s2k has over 15k on the mods, and most most people it look stock. i think that's why people like it, clean and simple look stock. if you go to his site and read on the mods you will understand. welcome to the board

Exactly. If you think a Veilside kit is clean, you bought the wrong car.

It's the fact that this particular person has done their homework and gone with some *very nice* modifications. Items that cost a lot of money, and it's all high quality. Nothing "ricey"

It's a very tastefully done vehicle, but I also say that because by summer of '05 my car will look almost the same as his (I'm going with bronze volk ce28n's though, and just the stoptech slotted rotor upgrade, cant justify new calipers)
