So I bought an RSG//Amuse HT in carbon. Chances are I'm probably going to wrap it in black though. Kind of made up my mind with the weight difference (42lbs vs 16lbs) and the price difference.

Last OEM HT I got offered was $4200 shipped. I told him to get stuffed, essentially.

I offered you one for 2800. You passed for some stupid reason.

Honestly, I didn't have the money at the time. In between getting out of the military and helping my mother, I was borderline broke and I refuse to take out a loan for a car part. I posted in some thread asking whether you still had it. Of course if you do, I'll cancel the RSG one and buy yours.

Easy as that.

Use the Post 9/11 GI bill dude. Seriously, the best thing going for fellow active duty members than are getting out or going reserve. I went reserve and used it to get my paramedic degree and sept using it for my RN and flight school Plus you get E-5 w/dependents pay for keeping a C or higher....e-z money

Waiting on my eligibility to come back. I'm definitely using that one. Going for my IT degree, hopefully with a major in security.

slowly riding the hectic/chaos out.

S2000: oil changed, picked up a pair of matching fronts, oil leak plugged (i think), passed smog, renewed registration.

Now left to do:
insurance merging policies for the entire household, have to call in to backdate the cancellation on brother/dads policy to get refunded ~2-300$.
get tires mounted tomorrow in the morning before work
pay a couple of minor bills


and nothin' else, life ain't too bad right now. End of the month my brother's driving record drops a point so hopefully it'll be 200$/mo. for 3 people, and in June his DUI should be off-record for insurance purposes to further reduce it, I'm hoping to get it down under 2g's since my S2000 solo policy is ~ 100/mo. with full coverage. how you jerks doin'?

Then there's no point in bringing it up, is there? No point to be a dick about it, man. There's a limit to my kindness, as I'm not some punk kid that you can be an *** to on here.

Let's move on like men, shall we?

saw the forbidden oem cf top this weekend on some dudes s2k the fitment looked spot on he said he was happy with it besides minor imperfections in the weave and clearcoat. i still cant get over how cheap the lexen window looks though it would b way nicer with the oem glass in there.

what's up dudes name is J and I'm an S2holic.

I just bought an AP1 again after being out for about a year.
( I went through an EM1, DC2, Ford Explorer '94 AWD, 06 Accord v6, and a BB6 though that time frame)


had to come back aha
might look into an STI or EVO to accompany my garage but not sure yet...


anyway
mods/non-mods:

Tein coilovers (Circuit Masters)
LE37s (225/40s in front and 255/35s in rear 18s on V12 Hankooks)
Mugen Hardtop Rep.
all stock motor (how I like it)
only other mod is AP1 center console swapped for AP2 center console n radio door
cleared side markers and front signals
OEM spoiler



currently waiting on brand new rear tires to get here
waiting on an alpine HU, already running a decent set up w speakers,tweaters n sub.


picture below. ( next to the TL )
ill try and get some better shots of the car later.
LMK what y'all think and thanks for reading! cheers

Ultimately, the window material is what sold me on the RSG vice the Forbidden. They use aircraft grade plastic instead of Lexan. What sucks is that an OEM Suzuka HT just came on sale for $1k more than I paid for my RSG.

****.
