How about a 10,500 dollar wing and trunk set?

11,000 dollar doors would be cool also.

This 2,500 dollar tow hook would look sick in a parking lot.

The tow hooks are made of 1-piece CNC machined super duralumin (A7075) with a clear alumite finish. The front hook uses pure titanium nuts and bolts and the rear hook uses high mechanical strength titanium (64alloy) for extra strength. Due to public demand, they have been made available to the public in very limited number; 10 sets produced only.

Considering a pound of Titanium is just under $3k I'm probably not that big of a markup. and then there are only 10 ever produced.

Not "the holy grail" but the thing that makes the biggest difference IMO is a good shift ****. A Team Voodoo Magnum Ti shift **** is the best mod I ever made to my car. And I only paid $10 less for one 5 years ago at that link.

The parts you guys are posting, are not really popular so I would not consider them "holy grail" myself.

IMO, it would be the Amuse hard top. Little less so now that there are fakes.

One of my favorite all time S2000's right here, a legend!

I'm agreeing here. If anything is the holy grail of S2K parts, it's that hardtop. Hell, I've got a replica of it since I can't stomach the 10k price tag.

Wish more build were like Diez's car.
