Default yellow 02 AP1

I purchased the car stock and have been doing all the work myself on a tight budget.
Id like some feedback from other S2k owners and enthusiasts.
Car lowered on H&Rs
17''rota wheels
First F1 exhaust
Skunk2 test pipe
dual cold air intake
calipers shot yellow
OEM front lip
Hood Vents Cut
Broadway rearview mirror
Amber removed from headlights and housing shot black
S2000 badge delete
Honda badges replaced with JDM badges
Side Mirrors shot black
Sparco bucket seats
License Plate delete
JDM clear side markers
5% window tint

Id be lying if i said i knew who made it.
I picked it up off a guy who was trading in his S.
ive never seen nor heard of it being used before.

Ive yet to dyno the car so i dont know if im gaining or losing power by using it.
Im waiting to put a little more money under the hood before i do a proper dyno.

yeah... it looks like your trying to do the bumble bee theme(yellow and black accents) but i think the grill and the badges would suffice for now... i think the badges and the hood vents would suffice... IMO...

doesn't look like a good location for the air filters since it's going to be sucking in all the hot air from the radiator.
i have unpainted lip on my spa yellow also.

Yeah, plus it's 2 fairly sharp 90 degree angles. Not exactly the ideal airflow configuration

i like the black lip and mirrors. it goes with the two tone look of the black soft top and black in the hood vents.

i wanna cut my hood with vents too but my car is 100% stock =( so i dunno how that would look lol

great input so far. thank you.
Ive been on the fence with painting the lip and mirrors.. but after hearing some opinions im leaning more toward yellow.
and the comment about the CAI... youre right.. it doesnt seem to make sense having two 90º angles there. I may look into another one.

from what i understand, there are very few Cold Air Intakes for the S2000 that produce power, and those that DO, are a little pricey..
can anyone point me in a direction?

imo the mirrors are a little much. but then again i like them at the same time because you've got a nice budget look going on.

i really do love the rota's on it though. they're making me start over on my wheel color decision
