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.

Ah, the old days. I miss my s2k. Looks great Phil. That Apex Blue looks great in the reflection shots. Is that a new SV wax?
I am pretty sure that is the wax made for Lexus and Infinity paint. When will the yellow pads be available?
Looks Beautiful Phil, :applause: I love the Direct Links you provided, Very Helpfull/Informative :help: Glad to here your Hand/Wrist is doing a little better, hope it gets back to 100% soon :thumb:
Great Job! What a gorgeous blue. Looks like the Grabber or AZure blue on Mustang MAch 1's, but with some metallic. :mounty:
Only when an Apex Blue CR is properly detailed can I see that the color is actually metallic. Nice job Phil!
