which mod to do next?
I'm debating which mod to do to my car next.
As indicated in my sig, there are several things I want to do.
I actually am installing the AEM CAI intake next weekend, as well as painting my calipers with the G2 caliper kit. (great deal and looks awesome! www.decalgirl.com to get them for like $40) I also got high temp decals for the brakes so basically it will look like this when I'm done. I'm also installing the JDM clear sidemarkers this week.
Here's a pic of the brake kit one my friend's S2000 that he already did:
(this one has the clear sidemarkers too)
edit: see 2nd post for pics of painted calipers with S2000 logo
Now my question is this. I am next in line for the S2000 wind screen etching and LED kit install, which is about $200. I am debating if I should cancel on this and save up for a different mod, or what.
Here's a pic of this mod:
Now I'm debating cancelling this and saving, so I can get one of the following:
A. 4.77 gears. Installed is probably around $650. FYI this is probably the best bang for the buck mod you can do on an S2000. It would take a stock 1/4 mile time of 13.7 and probably put it closer to 13.2 or so.
B. Spugen exhaust. Cost is around $600.
C. Or J's style racing hood. Probably about $500.
Thoughts?

Those brakes look good...Your gonna have to decide if you want to go for performance or looks first. then you can narrow it down even more than you already have.
If it was me id skip on the windscreen, save and get the gears or spugen exhaust...

Gear then exhaust then hood. Just my opinion. Your the one to decide.
