The Honda S2000 CR is quite a vehicle. My customer found a brand spanking new one on a lot as these were brought out for 1 year, 2008. It needed some work getting all the swirls out. This car turned out great!

Take a look at the specs from Honda USA:

Premier Performance
Nothing exemplifies Honda racing skill and ingenuity like the S2000 CR “Club Racer.” A firmer suspension, quicker steering ratio and fully functional front and rear spoilers have been specially designed to connect driver, vehicle and road.
Compete
The CR is a true competitor. Feel free to maximize its potential at club racing events.
Performance
A purist’s dream, the factory-tuned CR sports an aerodynamic design and stiffer suspension settings for increased rigidity and downforce. The CR proudly draws upon the S2000’s racing heritage, but delivers more in terms of sheer performance.
Lighter
With racecar-like suspension and lower weight, the CR’s performance is second to none. Drivers rave about its cornering, braking and acceleration. To accomplish this, the audio system and air conditioning are offered as options and the spare tire has been replaced with a tire-repair kit. This, along with other modifications, lightens the racy roadster by nearly 100 pounds from the original S2000. Add in a taut new chassis, quicker steering ratio, “stickier” tires, and track-inspired has never felt so meaningful.

Never have been a fan of the S2000 (amazed at the power output, but thats about it...)

But I have become a fan of your work. Very nice!

(ps Your link in your sig doesn't work)

 

Very nice job, but not a fan of the car. The CR looks pre-riced with that stupid spoiler on the back (even though they claim it functional)

I need a good detailer in my area :(

 

thanks

 

I'm a huge fan of the S2k, you just had to go and get me worked up with your awesome work. Now what am I going to do with myself...

 

I love that car and you guys do amazing work :tu:

 

nice work, nice car, nice garage!

 

Ya, you saw that too?!?! Granted, I was looking at the garage setup via the reflection on the car, but it definitely looked nice. Now if I could just get the US Army to outfit post housing with garages like that, I would be set!
