ps, for anyone wondering, I'm pretty sure I've now confirmed that one reason the S2000 is unrivaled in lighting aside from projector lens...
is I'm almost positive the famed Phillips 85122+ from Germany is the OEM bulb. I'm sure I can find this somewhere online, but I had this in the silver one and now confirmed it in the rio.
also, if you're sticking with amber...these wedge led from amazon are tits. I had done the sidemarkers for extra blinking visibility and they put the fronts to shame. I put them in there today...look at the light off the bumper. Right is LED, left is halogen. We're talking a little tiny wedge 168 bulb here.
Thanks guys! I love the color too. I searched for it for a while and got super lucky finding one in such great condition. My wallet wasn't so lucky.

LBP and 32K miles? prepare for some fellatio from me and the boys.
I tried some cheap knockoffs from china, sucked and had to return them.
PC on the CR wheels? I dig the color combo, man.
Yeah, I'm not on here much and when I am it's more lurking than anything else. I'm a little more active around the time of the National Meet here in KC. Life just got busy and I have two houses now so spending time on here isn't as easy anymore especially as it leads to spending more money on mods. Having the S really makes that hard as well as there is so much to do. Right now it's a battle between a carbon fiber hood for the S or get my Volks restored and get tires so they can go back on the TL.
Those are the SOS dampeners. I really like them. A lot of people think the wheels are PC but they are actually Plastidip. The stuff has come a long way. It's the Burnt Copper Pearl with Topcoat over it.

Some year I'll make it back to the National Meet
Tyler! How's it going? You still using the "I have classes" excuse for not coming to the meet?
I think mine need replacing too; there's quite a bit of vibration while stationary. Luckily I'm in the car industry and get parts for 10% over cost no matter the vehicle make

Wanna get me some too? I get the feeling mine are just worn due to age...
Also, I'm going to replace the front lights with LED. I'm pretty sure one of the bulbs is out anyway.
Anyone know of a good place to get the OEM clear side markers?
Glad you liked them, bud...I actually did the chrome dipped amber bulbs before, but they really weren't very bright in there. Figured LED would work better!

Will do - I'll post up some pictures on Saturday when she's lookin' purrrty.
I have yet to detail my car since purchasing it in January of 2014 and I finally have time to do it this weekend!
Ordered some supplies off Amazon:
2 x Simoniz Clay bars
Meguiar's G17216 polishing compound
New buffer pads
Some blue tape
Finally going to give the paint the attention it deserves. It's in pretty rough shape - lots of swirl marks, dirt & pollen specks everywhere - it makes me cringe every time I have to dry it with a microfiber towel
Typically, OEM hardtops usually go for around $3,000 - $4,000 depending on the color / condition (Craigslist / forums), but figure you're paying $35 - $36k after the tax man has his way with your sphincter for an 8 year old USED car is just bonkers.
I paid 3 times less than that for virtually the same car.
Don't be afraid of a purchase where you fly out, buy it and drive it home, Flippy. Not sure you can afford the time but Chip did that and drove home from my house to NJ in one day.

to old school technology. With a car that only has the bare essentials, it sure does stay reliable.
