thanks for the pics S2000GT.

I wish it didn't have the teneau(sp?) cover in the way. I think those chrome hoops might look pretty good.

What's up with the phalic e-brake?

That's not the e-brake. Look closer, it's the e-brake with the shift knob behind it.


The chromed roll hoops look good in those pics, but I would like to see a different angle.

Without the plastic roll hoop covers, there will be a lot of exposed sheet metal around the hoops. My guess is that a close look won't look good.

Even if you ignore the shift knob, it's still a HUGE freakish e-brake handle.

Momo makes one similar to that.

I think the e-brake boot looks worse.

I like the steering wheel, though.

I think I saw that Ebrake handle in a live sex show in Tijuana last year.

Actually, I think the exposed roll hoops would look out of place without the tonneau cover. They would look "small" if left to be viewed without something distracting your eye from it.

I'm sure the guy fabricated something to cover the sheet metal that would be visible from removing the plastic trim. I, too, would like to see a shot from the A-pillar.

Nice Pics!

But..
Don't you get nasty reflections in your rear view mirror from all that polished chrome?

Thats why (I believe) the original windbreak between the seats is downfoaldable (is that a word?) when driving-parking in reverse, looking in the mirror you can see your speedo refected, especially at night.

My memory played tricks on me.
When I look over my shoulder through the rear window I see the reflection in the windbreak.

Anyway....

Nice pics. I like everything about it except it could lose the wing, hood, mesh grill, and tone down the side skirts. I'm actually digging the chromed or polished Ap2 rims.
