Honda S2000 AP1 Refresh in New Formula Red with JDM 20th Anniversary Parts and Installation Guide

In this episode, our team will take this 2000 AP1 S2000 and transformed back to the former glory. Start off with body repair and prepping the JDM 20th Anniversary Parts from Japan. Then we finished them off with a fresh coat of the iconic New Formula Red. Follow with detail installation instruction guide on the decklid spoiler and side strakes. Then wet sand, buff and detail the entire car. The result is stunning.
As always, tips and tricks come standard on every episode.

My favourite day is Saturday, my favourite KZbin channel is AHC Garage and when the two combine and an S2000 is thrown into the mix 😁

[@ahcgarage]

Nice one!

[@rob5631]

Amazing transformation! You guys should film the owner's reaction when they see their car when it is finished. I bet they are smiling wide! Keep up the great videos!!

[@ahcgarage]

That's a great idea!

@@ahcgarage hi AHC garage what type of polish spray wax did i see you use at the very end of the video the microiber towel?

[@aKillingJ0ke]

Wow Iv been looking for the black emblems for some time and no luck. Looks great.

[@mr2cqql]

I love the look of those headlights over any USDM version with the amber safety reflector. Good job guys.

[@KantstandlamGarage]

Yeah the clear reflectors just hit different.

[@ahcgarage]

Facts!!

[@ahcgarage]

Glad you like it!

[@epark5687]

Anyone know where to get these headlights with black housing and clears? It seems like they’re discontinued.

[@EcuChris]

As an S2000 owner, I really appreciate what you guys are doing. I have an AP2 that was street parked in Baltimore for 3 years and desperately needs some TLC.

[@ahcgarage]

Thanks for your support

[@JohnWD40TC02]

Awesome job guys I do like that new formula red it seems to pop in the sunlight, it's surprising how just a polish brought it up to a high standard. Great to see Brian helping you out again as you make a great team but I thought Brian would have re-cleared the headlights or were they to far gone, look forward to the next video 👍 John UK.

[@ahcgarage]

Thank you as always John!!

Man how do you guys matched the paint so perfectly, beautiful job! The only thing that S2k needs is some nice wheels!

[@ahcgarage]

Thanks! 👍

[@kalmtraveler]

ngl super jealous of the mint front lip and rear spoiler.

[@TheMondizzl3]

Clean

[@ptrhang]

Also, is there a part number for those heavy duty trunk springs, can you buy them by themselves without the spoiler?

[@ayowser01]

Do you have the badge #s for the front and rear emlems? Are they the same between AP1 and AP2? Thanks.

[@hienly2354]

Hey AHC nice video! Curious on where you were able to purchase those headlights brand new? Specific site or do you just have connections to Japan lol

[@mushy18100]

It would’ve been perfect if it was drilled then repainted the trunk but still it came out absolutely beauty. Love the work you guys put on the cars. 🇯🇵 👍🏼

[@ahcgarage]

Thanks 👍. We didn't paint the trunk, only the spoiler. If we needs to paint the trunk, and would have pre-drilled the holes for the spoiler then paint.

[@sandmangti7040]

How does felt keep dirt from flowing into it over time. Think it would just be packed with dirt.

[@Frenchyk]

Man I love the attention to detail you guys take on your customers cars. Anyone know where I can find a clean set of JDM AP1 headlights?

[@peejayem4700]

EBay

Nice work fellas. Convince the owner to pop on some new wheels and 🙌

[@xbadandy182x]

Yep even if they're just the OEM AP2 rims.. would transform this car to the next level

[@ahcgarage]

We will

[@ahcgarage]

Great suggestion!!

[@blkcrappyescorts]

What drill bits did y’all use for the side stakes on the bottom of the car?

[@fhowland]

Wow! I need you guys to do my S2k! My front bumper is all scraped. How do you get the new paint to match so perfectly?

[@ahcgarage]

Skill helped!

Good catch!!

[@chengenlau7858]

Just wondering if anyone can explain better what's the differnt between cc and hp? As why I see some cars have low cc but the HP is so high, does that matter and what's the advantage/disadvantage on road
