What is it about hardtops and S2000′s that we love so much? Just when you thought you’ve seen them all, another beautiful one pops up out of nowhere! There is no doubt that it’s as easy as drop & wheels to have an extremely nice looking S2K, but it takes a lot of work to separate yourself from dozens and dozens of other S2K’s in this scene. Allow us to introduce you to Thomas Tran and his badass Honda S2000, driven hard and on the daily all throughout the Pacific Northwest. The PNW has been doing some big things lately so it’s only right of us to acknowledge that and give major kudos to all of you up there. It’s safe to say that the PNW knows their stuff, just check this thing out!

Thomas is rocking a few OEM things on his 2000 Honda S2000 such as the 2004 front bumper, CR lip, side Strakes and of course the sexy OEM hardtop. Up front you’ll notice Ap1 clear headlights (though he plans on upgrading to AP2′s very soon), while in the rear the aggressive Spoon carbon fiber diffuser hangs low and wide! To compliment the rear diffuser, Thomas also installed VIS carbon fiber side diffusers. Lastly, he mounted on a custom JDP carbon fiber rear spoiler which looks damn awesome!
We then come to that mean stance! The polished Varrstoens wheels in 18×9.5 (+12) & 18×10.5 (+15) rears were a bit too aggressive for the stock S2K body so Thomas had some fender and camber work done. Front fenders were obviously rolled and pulled slightly while the rears required a little bit more pulling work and tab relocating. He then added the SPC camber bolt kit in the rear which put him in the -7ish range! Take a look at more photos by clicking the Read More button below.
The interior features a beautiful pair of red Bride Racing seats and polished 4pt rollcage with Takata harness. Check out the shot below that our photographer Sid Titus captured.
There you have it folks. Another incredibly fine Honda S2000 with an awesome posture. Big shout out to all of our fans from the upper left coast, especially Sid and Thomas for getting together and making this feature possible. Be on a lookout for more PNW rides in the near future, they’ve got more sick rides than most of you would imagine. Until next time, hit us up via email snfeatures [at] gmail.com if you think you think your ride has what it takes.
I love how he painted the bottom of the spoiler black and kept the top white. Clean, tasteful attention to detail. Damn these images make great wallpapers. D
Im in love…
I seen this guy driving on 405 on my way home one night i pulled up next to him in my conquest tsi and my bov went off so he noticed my thumbs up, and i got one in return sick car and i love seeing it around!
actually the spoiler isnt black and white. it was originally cf. he got the top painted white to match the car ;p
@Mike I don’t think he painted his spoiler black, it’s CF.
Car looks on point, wish it wasnt on varrstoens and was on some TE’s.
This guy 6 Pack Tammy is my BFF and he’s so secksee just like his car!
eh. its aiight. haha. jk thomas. looks clean man. good job. i remember when you first bought it. looked like ssshhhiiieeett. haha. jk again. i’m just hatin. lol. hit me up later.
See this guy all the time, love the car, and the pics. Black lip kit all the way around looks nice.
Oh okay thanks! Either way its quite nice. :)
Holy shit that EDP rear spoiler is sex.
nice shots, nice car
Love the site Elvis. Really, I do. HATE it when you post people running fake sh*it
PNW has some of the nicest cars i have seen.
real clean and who cares if he has varrdawgs….he obviously can afford quality parts so it should not matter, plus if VOLK make polished te37 im sure he would have him, as well as a bunch of other heads who have polished varrdawgs.
It’s not fake, it’s a replica. Get it right next time. Many thousands of people rock “fake” brides. So who know if they’re legit or not.
I suprisingly find myself not fussed about the ‘fake’ wheels. IMO they still look good and so many other super dope rides are running them… they are slightly different looking too. TE37s are so common. Can’t believe I just said that :O but at the end of the day the car looks amazing and fitment is amazing so it deserves big props!
Im not a fan of fake or “replica” wheels either but come on guys, its a dope car. This isn’t “wheelwhore-nation”. But yes, real wheels would make the car that much cooler to me. But hey, it isn’t my car and no my car isn’t as dope but im entitled to my opinion…hence the invention of the comment box.
fake or not its freshasf*ck! most of you haters are probably riding in teggys and civics on sportmax and rotas so gtfo!
this ‘fake wheel’ bullshit is super annoying. rock what looks good, and you’ll turn heads, just like this s2k. like Taryn said, the TE37 is becoming increasingly more common. pair that up with what thai said and you’ve got a recipe for disaster. TE37′s in standard factory colors don’t stand out like they used to, and this car pops with the polished replicas! props to thomas for a clean ass s2k! this WILL be my 2nd car someday!
btw i still love the TE37 :), the SuperLaps are going to be mine next year lol.
not much for off brand wheels, but damn this s2k’s pullin em off!
FAKE WHEELS? He seems to be getting around fine. This s2K is FRESH! Stop hating for the sake of hating. TE’s are both “rare” and discontinued. Get over yourselves.
who cares if they are fake? the look the exact same as the TE37. plus its HIS s2k. he can do to it what he wants. respect the man’s ability to have good taste and build a great looking GPW Ap1
who cares if his wheels are fake.. right? I mean fu*k it, his girl probably rocks a fake coach purse too.. but fu*k it.. :)
lololol his girl rock the fake lv bag from da bietnam! oh well… at least he doesnt try to pass it as real wheels… like what broke people with rotas trying to pass them as sprint harts or drags as equips
so nice and clean thats the way cars flow
HATERS GONNA HATE (FULL STOP)
hi sid!!! good job :P
awesome S2K :D
seen it this morning on benson rd in renton, looks super fresh
He used to have red/black super advans & no camber before this new set up and atleast he didnt put volk caps and volk stickers!
I loved it until the second to last pic
Another killer S2k, & Varrstoens are getting popular now. ;)
It’s a JDP carbon fiber wing, not EDP lol
I have so many models I want to build right now but I’m going to have to do this one soon
