well here the story... 2000 S2000 getting ready for boost

and the bad luck happens my brother hits a pot hole/ditch and jars the rear diff and blows it, call insuranace and they said it'll be fix and it is covered, and take it to a garage. So we take it honda and in the process this happens tow hook breaks and car rolls of the bed of the tow truck.

and the damages are still under investigation with a separate company
and so honda says it was gonna cost about 5500 to repair rear diff, so we get a call from the insruance company saying its mechanical and it's not gonna be covered. keep in mind this is 2 month after the fact and the car has been sitting there at honda. So we said scerw it it's coming out of pocket to get fixed. we sold the custom turbo kit for 3500. we went to Import auto Salvage in Marion, NC (5Hrs drive) and pick it up for 650, so we took it to a shop and it was 125 to install, and the tail lights for about 65 bucks.so now the car runs and we final get some money saved up to fix the body damage and here she is after being abused




Picked up the seibon trunk and APR carbon fiber mirrors from micheal at urbanimports (sells wheel on the forum)
also there the upgraded plastic to rear glass conversion 10hrs worth of work DIY owns

actually they are nice to see out off... if you have a boardway;same concept. they have a tint to them so it makes it easy on the eyes at night
