The debate over form vs. function has always been a never-ending battle amongst car enthusiasts. To choose between looks and functionality is a common struggle for people. So why not choose both? Ethan Bui’s Honda S2000 is an excellent example of form and function. With his mild drop and race inspired parts, Ethan is ready for both the track and show room.

Ethan had no hesitation when choosing his parts for his car. He was lucky to obtain his Amuse wide body early on during his build, which gave him inspiration to make a full fledged track inspired car.

Sitting on top of Ethan’s Seibon carbon fiber trunk is a giant APR GT500 wing, which makes the car stand out at local car meets. Ethan’s big wing, Seibon carbon fiber hood and trunk, and menacing Amuse wide body definitely give the car presence around any crowd of car enthusiasts.

Interior wise, Ethan has kept things simple for now. Because he drives his car daily, Ethan did not opt for track bucket seats because he still wanted to sit comfortably while driving. Sparco Roadster seats and Sparco harnesses are enough to keep him strapped down during his spirited runs. Lastly, a RSG roll bar gives the S2000 extra rigidity and also keeps Ethan safe in the event of rolling over.

While sitting on Buddy Club N+ coil overs, Enkei NT03 wheels give the S2000 its final touch. The 18 x 9.5 + 27 orange wheels are wrapped with Falken Fk-425 tires. With such a wide body, wide wheels were a must have for the S2000.
