As promised, here is my new Rockstar Garage Gears Replica lip. Fitment is not terrible, but I need to buy a rivet gun to install some additional support brackets on the underside.
I've always loved this front lip for the AP1 and when one came up for sale in my color about 30 mins from my house, I had to jump on it. The guy included the trim molding, although I may try to mount it without the trim, just to see fitment and appearance. Color match is not too bad, but it seems that Silverstone is difficult to match well, particularly on a 17 year old car.
LOL...none of my yellow add ons are the same shade
Looks awesome Dave...MUCH better than the oem, love how it juts out.
how the fuck have you not bought the 15/17mm spacer combo yet? DMV motorsports on ebay, affordable and good quality.
Would really set off the look.
Sooo...when were you gonna tell me you were gonna sell your S2000 Dennis?
Every time I consider it, I'm like, Dennis would kill me!
Haha the thought crossed my mind after feeling uncomfortable on several drives. The fact that I'm a lil chubbier now doesn't help either With that said I'm not sure I have the balls to sell it
Seems to me S2000 + stock S4 would be more fun than a Fit and an S4 that spends more time in the garage.
Best of luck though!
You bring up a good point.
I think as car enthusiasts, we go through phases. I feel I am over the S2000 phase and have been for a while ... I don't hit the track nearly as often and it's not practical for my wife.
To me, it's money just sitting there .. most of which could be put in better places like eliminating nearly all of my debt.
To me, a quick S4 w/ a comfortable daily sounds perfect
You say you don't want just a pile of money sitting around, but sir, the value of s2000s is going up. You own a car that is making you money, long term. No Fit or s4 will ever match that. Poor argument.
though, the wife not liking it is the bigger concern here- and one you need to obviously address. You should have left it at that
The sad thing is- I'm betting you will be back, eventually. Everyone always comes back. And regret leaving. And having to pay way more to be able to come back. Or complaining about not being able to come back due to price point. You're screwed!!
although I will disagree...I came back and with an arguably cleaner car for a ton less money the second time around.
He's going flying miata for the time being, Adam...talk him out of it!

I bought the car for $12,500 ... I am currently selling for $10,000.
It has 167,000 miles, 3 minor fender benders, and I am the 6th owner ... it's not going up in value lol.

Good thing is .. my mom has a mint S2000 sitting in the garage that's driven occasionally.

I can only speak for the NC miata (3rd gen). I will never own another one. The one I had probably had 15k dumped into it and it performs no better, maybe even be a little slower than my completely stock 370 Nismo. Even then, I didn't think the car was that crazy with all the money in it. I mean, it was fun, but... handling wise, running on $2500 coilovers, my nismo still feels better in the handling department. Plus the chassis is soft as butter- I had 3 or 4 additional chassis braces on the car- well all of that starts adding weight, no matter how you slice it.
The aftermarket support for the car is huge- but it's because it has some serious short comings that enthusiasts want to address. The decade older s2000 had a stiffer chassis than my NC, stock for stock. That's embarrassing. But I guess there is a reason why the s2000 costed nearly twice as much as a miata, back in the day. The miata isn't much of an enthusiast car in stock form. It's for your average 45 year old guy going through a midlife crisis and wanting some fun, but not too much fun. Low power, soft suspension, soft chassis, cheap interior, etc. Plus the exterior looks? It's hard to love. Very feminine. Gets mocked by everyone. Pass.
It just hit me that this design is a couple of decades old, yet still looks great! Timeless, one could say.
