#517 of 604 S2000 Cosmetic Defect - Bumps on dashboard by mprasad Mar 17, 2007 (12:14 pm)
I will be taking delivery of a new 2006 and noticed that it had a large number of 'bumps' on the dash. Inspecting other S2000's on the lot showed that two of them had none and another had a couple.   I know of another person on this forum who had a similar issue and had to go through some pain to resolve it.   Wonder if this is a common problem and if this has eventually has gotten worse over time?   Regards Mike Replies to this message: 06s2k (Mar 25, 2007 4:43 am)

Replying to: ralpsars (Mar 10, 2007 5:25 pm) I went to trade in my 2006 S2000 for the 2007 model, they told me that 2006 was the last year for the S2000, I instead bought a 2007 Accord (which I am still kicking myself in the butt for). The next day I went online and saw the 2007 S2000. I tried to undo my trade only one day later but the San Antonio Honda Dealorship wouldn't let me.

Replying to: arostamian (Mar 18, 2007 10:53 am) I wish you the best of luck in selling your S2000. However, just to let you down easy, you should be aware that one can buy a brand new one for around $30,000. As good as the resale on S2000's is, I would expect the best you could do for a 2 year old one with 24k miles is in the $22,500 range (trade in value is $20.5k +/-). And that assumes its in good to outstanding condition (meaning new tires in the last 2,000 miles). After all, you have used up 2/3 of the warranty and inhaled all that new car smell out of it.   But at least it still cost you a fraction of what a loaded Z4 or Boxster would have.   Good luck.

Replying to: mprasad (Mar 17, 2007 12:14 pm) I bought a 06 s2000 in August. In Houston. It has the same dash issues you describe. It has not gotten any worse. I have not gone to the dealer about it. I would be interested to hear if anyone has been able to get this problem fixed.
#523 of 604 Dry Ice Myth by njexpress Jun 15, 2007 (5:48 am)
Hi, Just wanted to post my experiences on "Dent Removal with Dry Ice". Some good samaritan had opened a door on my S2K's passenger side door that left a deepish dent a few months ago. Being a detail Nazi high on Zaino's results, this annoyed me to no end until I decided to try out the dry ice technique. I initially heated the surface of the dent with a hair dryer for about a minute and applied dry ice over it for a minute. I kept repeating this at least seven times and I am not even ready to imagine if it did anything to the dent. Is this because dry ice does not do the trick or Is the gauge of the sheet metal too thick? I honestly can't say. I decided it is not even worth a try on my M Class considering the sheet metal can only be just as thick if not thicker. I was initially upset but, all it took me for another spin on a twisty road and my smile returned - Heck! Dent on door panel or not - An S2K is still what it is!! My take on this thing: Do not bother applying dry ice if there is a dent on your S2K door - Just shop around for a body shop or a PDR location. Cheers!! --njexpress Replies to this message: accelerator (Jun 15, 2007 6:22 am) habitat1 (Jun 15, 2007 9:35 am) njexpress (Jun 15, 2007 10:10 am)

Replying to: njexpress (Jun 15, 2007 5:48 am) Sorry to hear about the door dent. I've heard about the dry ice technique but luckily haven't had a need to attempt it (knock on wood). From what I've heard though, dry ice will only work on bubble style dents, not dents with creases. Was your a crease or a bubble type of dent?

Replying to: njexpress (Jun 15, 2007 5:48 am) This does sound like a "myth" promoted, perhaps, by makers of dry ice? I'm not sure what principals of physics suggest that simply heating and cooling the deformed metal would cause a dent to spring back into a pre-dent shape. It would seem to me that if it held the dented shape after the ding, the metal has stabilized in that position.   But, in any event, you should be able to find a paintless dent removal service that will restore your S2000 to original condition.

Replying to: habitat1 (Jun 15, 2007 9:35 am) Folks, Thanks for the response. It was not even on the crease. In fact, it was an inch above the crease line. Members in S2KI have reported sucess but, Just my luck! I had to park this one time, next to cars - Normally, I park a mile away from the rest of the cars but just the day before, I had a shopping cart right next to my car in an otherwise deserted area of the lot - It looked like I was being sent a message, almost . So, I just decided to park closer to other cars... Anyways, the one PDR technician within a 50 mile radius is only available 7 Am thru 10 AM, Monday thru Friday and I would already be at work at that time - Guess I have to take time off to do that - The more I think about it, it only makes me madder that people have no consideration for other's prized posessions - Oh Well - Nobody can be flawless, I guess... Not even my S2000.... Cheers!! --njexpress
