volks won't get me faster around the track... doing more suspension mods (ie. sway bars, 04 rear suspension arms (makes it a lot less twitch), strut bars, etc... also will be doing a power mod soon (leaning towards a SC).

Thanks guys for the comments...

Patrick - Yeah, I use to have them on my S13 a few years back. Their badass coilovers that work great like the 1500 coilovers you can get. They have been proven to last a through so much abuse and in do so I put my own through two road course events and already 20k+ miles on the street.

D-Fence - wow, here the Boxster is more expensive than the S2000, but i'm still faster and better handling lol.

Silverstar - Yeah, no wheels for me yet, if I do i'll be getting

ENKEI RPF1, I love these wheels and they are very light weight.

Great choice! images/smilies/thumbsup.gif
Another great weight saver is a single exit exhaust...depending on the manufacturer, you can shed ~20-30 pounds by replacing the dual exhaust. images/smilies/wink.gif

Anyone know a way to color the A-pillars the same as the rest of the car?

I also hate the fact the hardtop comes with a black lining around the window...

There are black vinyls on the a-pillars of the S2000, but they're removable...

thanks guys for the additional comments...

I'm toying with the idea of getting the wheels spray painted shiny black. I wanted to do something to my car so they might be it that can hold me over till I can afford some cool stuff... Any opinions? If i don't like it I can always strip off the paint.
