I am less enamored with the idea since I have seen another silverstone S2K done this way now...,albeit a slightly different blue. Though the car looked good.

Debadged the front...ran into a little issue. Now, since I want it debadged and wanted the rock chips fixed, looking into getting the bumper prepped and resprayed with the holes filled in. Also contemplating going to an offset license plate with a tow hook mount. I have a hard time with this due to symmetry, but Like that there are no holes in the bumper if done.

Any idea what cost would be on this?

Whoa! I leave you alone for two seconds and this is what you do!? Damn...

There was an Rx-8 out of Castle Pines that had his rear emblem holes filled in and painted (professionally)... there should be a thread around here somewhere.

Not sure about the offset plate on a s2k. What about one of those 'flip-up' plate brackets?

For both front and back, it was a hair over a grand.

I think the offset plate would look good

Link to said bracket?

I have seen flip up brackets, but not sure where.

I am not paying some shop 1k to fill a couple holes in the bumper and repaint it...so I will go with front and rear emblems before that (the type R "JDM" lemblems). One problem with the current emblems is the ability for them to hold grime. I don't like that.

Taking a cue from miT, I decided to clean up/organize my garage last night. AS part of that, I decided to wipe the car off using Prima Slick. Afterward, the car was visited by an insect (for the curious type, it is in the Order: Neuroptera, Family: Chrysopidae...common name: Green Lacewing).

I thight this was a good picture because you can see a lot of detail in the bugs reflection kind of deep into the paint. Proof that detailing works.

Nice!

Putting all those degrees to work I see (jealous)

I planned on building something like these for the S2000

Not nearly worth 1.4k to me.

I was driving north on Broadway after picking up some product and saw this old gas station. Thought it might make a good picture (it would if I had skills).
