Thats good advice, However Honda is arguably generally very good about this, then again, it took 2.5 years to iron the bugs out of the NSX when it was first released.

Is there a mandatory mourning period for replacing a deceased S2000? :-( Someone should make a black arm band with S2000 on it, we can pass it around when an S2000 passes away. (This is my feeble attempt at dark humor)

Cover your VIN number in the window!!!!!!!

And those of you in NY, you lose because your VIN is on the sticker in your window!! That has to go too!!!

Because someone can take your vin number, go to a honda dealer and have them build a key for you.

Yes, and covering your VIN# is a sure way to get a citation while driving (when pulled over) and a sure way to get your car towed by parking enforcement if they ever want to write you a parking ticket.

How are you going to cover them? The VIN is also etched on every window and major body part on the car.

I have VINs on the Driver's and passenger's window, almost directly above the door handles in the corner.
One is also located on the windshield and one on the rear glass window.

I am also aware that the body parts have the VIN hidden. But that doesn't disprove my point.

Chris - holy crap, so sorry to hear this, I'll keep an eye out for you.

Vin number etching is sometimes a dealer option. It is not on all cars.
