Default FINALLY GOT WHAT I WANTED!!!

As some of you may know I've been shopping around for a Spa Yellow Pearl S2000 for a while now. My last Silverstone S2000 was cool but just not the color I wanted. But I can't complain because at that time I picked it up for a good deal so no complaints. The same night I got my Silverstone I ordered my Spoon complete widebody kit. But just 2 days later I had to leave on a business trip, and while I was away someone walked into my shop and gave me an offer I couldn't refuse, so my Spoon widebody has been sitting around ever since. It's been a year later and I finally was able to get an all stock Spa Yellow Pearl from an original owner. Now I finally had use for my Spoon widebody. And here are some pictures of the progress right now. I will update with more pictures.

The day I got it (last saturday), all stock:

so... the day you got it, you already put stupid decals on it and wheels that are too big for the car?

sad day for a clean s2000 that will become the product of over-zealous modders. wish more people who race bought S2000s....

Personal preference. I am a firm believer of fitting wheels that barely fit over the brakes.

except he had the stickers on the car when he didn't have the kit on the car...

and it's still gaudy to have stickers on a car regardless.

you sir, are a douche
thanks, you sir are a lemming without original thought. continue using tired insults (Douche is the best you can come up with? Especially when it isn't used in the correct context?) to support your nutswinging opinions.

I don't like the wheels either. But...16s are the only size that barely fit over stock brakes. So stock ap2s have wheels that are too big?

Also....you called me "douchey" in another thread. So...just sayin......

I agree that the owner might need to slow down pro get the right combination of mods, though. 5 zigen Black racing advan knockoffs? In like a mitsubishi eclipse size? Gross.

well... you did have a fauxhawk on your helmet. fauxhawks are notoriously douchey haircuts, and putting it on your helmet is...well, even more so.

Maybe you don't see it?

Driven - we get it - you're an incredible driver that isn't interested in the look of a car, purely how well it goes round a track. Go you.
