My Budget S2000 build
Well I bought this car at the end of January on Craigslist. It needed a little TLC because I bought it from a careless ricer but at least he barely drove it because he was broke. I bought it with a crashed door, a ricer wing, a ricer paint job, ricer wheels and missing seats with one gay a$$ fake recaro. This is how it looked:

Yea, it was rough but was worth it. It came with the hard top, cold air intake, ACT 6 puck clutch kit with a lightened fidanza flywheel. Replaced the door and also realized that I couldn't match the paint so I bit the bullet and painted it. Here's the beginning stages of the process:

Finally picked my color. Sargasso Green from the newer IS250.

Now she's finally ready to go home:

Finally loaded her up on the King Ranch to put it back together:

Picked up some nice rollers for the low low and she's about 90% put back together and ready to hit the road. I still need to put the door handles on, the rear glass for the hard top, some interior panels, tweaking of the suspension some more and servicing.

I think she's about done for now after all is done. I'm not really into all that gay a$$ jdm ricer shit... Splitters, flares etc. I prefer my cars simple and clean. Maybe a turbo kit down the line if I feel like it or don't sell her.
Info on vehicle:
2001 S2k.
Original exterior color was Sebring silver. The engine bay is still that color but all jams have been matched.
Interior color is red carpet, black and red door panels, and all black seats. (I prefer that color combo with the exterior color)
59,xxx original miles (I drive it to meets and then garage it so the miles will be low whether it's sold today or next year)
ACT 4puck
AEM Short ram intake with K&N filter
Blox coilovers (non-dampering)
XXR 521 x8.5 in front x10 in rear (offset I have it written down somewhere I can get that for you later)
Mugen rep hard top
