ACDetailing: 350+whp 2001 S2000

[imported_d00t]

So here is the final result with my trials and tribulations of super soft honda paint, and trying to get the most possible correction within a time/price limit. After the customer picked up the car, he was very pleased with the work, and I went over with him how the paint was going to look in the sun, and even showed him under my different lights just what to expect (picked it up at night time). Of course, I wasn't happy with what I did because it wasn't perfect, but not every customer can afford perfection, unfortunately.

That was a MAJOR turn around. Awesome job!



Gotta love boost. I should be at 350whp in my civic this winter.



Uh oh, I see TIEN coil overs maybe?

Yeah Tein Flex

Nice job Aaron. As an owner of NBP, I know how soft it is, and the challenges it presents. A super fine polish to finish like 85rd or UF SE is a must if you want to bring it to its full potential.

Nice turn-around. That engine is insane.



Do you have any pics of the entire car?

Amazing work! I'm going to have my hands full with a black S2K soon as well. You made this one shine like crazy!



Man, oil changes on those cars must be a breeze, look where the oil filter is! lol

Thanks! Good luck with it!



It's actually a relocation kit for the S2000. Because the turbo sits where the oil filter would be. But even in the stock location, it's a breeze!



And no full pics, sorry.. I always find myself rushing to take all the after pics at the end =/
