Your kidding, right 
If a cop was goonna call in that plate he'd have some issues. Specially if that car is moving away from him faster than he can move to catch him! 
At least here in UT - not a problem - we have partial plate search by vehicle make color ect - would take about 10 sec as oppsed to the normal 5  (ps - thats what I do for the piggies)

Aftercooler is air/water. So the front mount radiator chills the coolant that cycles through the aftercooler. Well, unless he has some kind of redundant cooling going on.

I'd never put stereo equipment stickers on a car (just says "Rip me off!" IMO  ) but I like the car as a whole.
Derk: You might not floss vinyl; however, if you were SPONSORED by said stereo (or other parts manufaturers) company and you won a lot of shows(which this car has) for the car you built.
SVTwannabe: there are lots of examples of rice out there this particular S2k is not one of them. You might claim the C/F hood with a plethora of vents and fins and wings on it is close to rice, but as it it 100% functinal for engine bay cooling, no foul there. The attention to detail on this car is at the very highest level for amature rides. It is prepared/designed/assembled as well or even better than some professional/corporate rides.
I know the owner quite well. I'll have him post over here to answer your technical questions.
In the mean time here a few more pics of the car:
 note the hard top. a very special item.

Thanks for the compliments, guys. To aide others:
The Spearco part is for the aftercooler. It replaces the smaller radiator "condenser" that came with the kit. Overall, I would say an improvement of 25% was made. Numbers depend on the temp, but on hot & humid days it works great, on cooler fall days and nights it REALLY works better.
Dyno numbers are now sketchy, but the car was tuned "safe" at 305 whp and with a second map for the ECU and a few other adjustments 350 is not going to be too difficult to get to.
With a few steps taken this winter, the car should weigh in at around 2400lbs as is-full interior, A/C, ICE and all normal stuff.
But it still sucks at the strip. (Traction challenged)Its real "sweet spot is from 60 on up.
The blue RSX is impressive. Once the engine management and larger boost pulley gets taken care of, I expect it will be faster than the S2000...

Oh yeah. Trapps was right-the plate has two uses...One for photo toll and photo radar evasion and the other to describe my financial situation.
