Got my yearly bonus check today! Yee Pee! I have 3K to spend on my S2K. Yes, my car is still bone stock but now it's time to have fun. Any suggestions on my budget? I was thinking of J's Racing front lip. Anyone got a quote on that bumper yet? I was thinking of body mods first, but please share your thoughts. Thanks to all in advance.

If you're gonna get body mods, go for the Gears front bumper. That's the best looking one, I think. But it IS $800 unpainted

. If you have that much, you could probably go get an ECU (Mugen, Spoon, and I think AEM have ECUs for the S2K) and still have some money to do body work. I only mention ECUs b/c that's one of the mods I really really REALLY want . . .

3k, you're only 3k from a Turbo.....

personally, I'd ask myself, what yields the GREATEST gain.... a stock looking S2k that rips the hell out of the road, or a FAST looking car that stays at Mustang GT speeds... I dunno..

I'd save it and take a turbo/supercharger .... just cuz that's the highest gain you can do, and you might as well do it early.

If you live in Florida, it'll be easier to contact them, cuz that's where they're located. There's only 3 turbo'd S2000, but more will follow shortly. Price for the "whole pack" (gauges, exhaust, turbo, gasket etc.) are, I believe 7 000$ Anyone confirm?
