CR lip looks a bit out of place, especially from that angle.

Yeah, honestly, we'll probably do the more subtle lip without the splitter underneath it.

Nice pick up!

I have not had the pleasure of driving an S2000 (been a passenger) but wow did it handle, I could only imagine when actually driving it myself

Oh and I say go for the hardtop. Looks great

+1 for Hardtop. I'm not sure about your area, but in chicago people cut right into the soft top and steal what they want without triggering an alarm.

I ordered seat locks for this reason.

It's a fair-weather car, though, so it will be parked in safe areas to the best of my ability. It's not a primary car so nothing will be kept inside, so if they cut it open well they'll just be disappointed by what they find.

I need to get those "seat lock" stickers for the windows.

Someone tell me what I should use to clean and protect the top.

I was wondering how long 'til unicorn something popped up.

I figure I'll need a soft brush and some sort of convertible top soap.

I've heard of a lot of people using 303 Aerospace Protectant for the tops.
I thinks it's like a sunscreen kind of thing that repels uv rays.

The Spoon hardtop was designed in a wind tunnel to aid in drag. Thats why it costs so much. Its the top of choice in Japan for road race s2000's.

nobody denies the functionality of it all. common sense-wise tells you the teardrop design will be better aerodynamically than the sudden cutoff of the OEM hard top. but the wind tunnel testing is for track ready s2ks. it's not practical for the daily driver, or even the weekend warrior.
