This product is to be used ONLY on the Honda S2000 and is intended to provide increased driver support when using the stock lap belt and shoulder harness. It is NOT to be used as a replacement for competition belts or at any event where 4 or 5-point restraint systems are required. This product uses an electro-magnet to activate the factory inertia-sensing mechanism built into the seat belt assembly. It does not alter the factory restraint system in any way and has no effect on the seat belt retractors or air bag system. It simply activates the “tilt” mechanism built into the seat belt, the one that normally kicks in only when you corner or brake very hard. Modifry’s Seat Belt Lock is relatively easy to install and can be quickly removed, leaving no trace it was there.
Installation
1. Prepare - Empty the trunk of anything breakable or that might get in the way of sitting in the trunk (really). Remove the spare tire access panel and the spare tire. Then slide and tilt the passenger seat as far forward as it will go. Note – I use the abbreviation “SBL” for the Seat Belt Lock, which is the black bracket with the electro-magnet attached.
2. Remove the access panel behind the passenger seat. Unsnap the screw covers on the two plastic hooks and then remove the screws. Carefully pull the panel out, starting at the bottom and working around the outer edge to release the clips that hold it in place.
3. Locate the accessory power socket wire harness. This wire loom goes under the glove box on the right. Pry apart the plastic (it’s split down the middle) and pull the black and white/red wires out in preparation for attaching the T-taps. If the two wires are not black and white/red STOP, you have the wrong wire loom.

Double-DIN in the Honda S2000 Installing
Honda’s S2000 is famous for its high revving engine, but also infamous for its low- view factory radio placement. Not only is Honda’s factory radio placed very low in the dash, but it is also only single-DIN. While single-DINs were the norm in Japanese cars years ago, today most Japanese cars are double-DIN. Ernest Ornate and Junior Ngim of Sound Innovations in Hayward, Calif., show a great way to put a double-DIN video unit higher up in the dash of a Honda S2000. Ernest notes to make sure to inform the customer that he will lose airflow to the passenger air vent due to the removal of all ductwork leading from the blower motor to the vent.
Installation:
1.Draw the dimensions of the radio’s chassis onto the dashboard using a wax pencil. Notice that the airbag was removed to allow for access to the radio’s new location. BE SURE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE THE AIR BAG! The airbag can be taken out by removing three 10mm bolts located underneath the knee bolster.
2.Make sure that your drawing is at least a quarter of an inch larger all the way around to allow for a double-DIN sleeve that we will be inserting later.
3.Cut four pieces of ABS plastic to the size of the radio chassis and glue them together in order to construct a double-DIN sleeve. Using instant CCA glue with accelerator, stretch grill cloth from the front of the radio opening to the fabricated ABS DIN sleeve.
4.Spread resin and lightweight chop mat over the grille cloth.
5.Cut out the double-DIN hole and tape off the edges with masking tape. The duct that used to go to the passenger’s vent was removed to allow room for the new radio’s position. Use duct tape to close off the vent outlet so warm air does not blow directly onto the radio.

2000–2003 Honda S2000 Center Grille Installation Instructions and Care guide
Step 1 – Place the grille inside the opening. The grille should conform to the center opening on the car and fit snugly. This will actually provide the support for the grille.
Step 2 - Use a pencil or magic marker to mark the holes where you want to route the zip ties. On the center grille, the cable ties will attach to the plastic OEM grille slats.
Step 3 – Route a zip tie through an opening in the grille (from the back) and then through the front of the grille via an adjacent hole. Unless you have tiny hands, you may need to attach a second zip tie to the end of the first to add length.
Step 4 - Wrap the zip ties around or thru the OEM grille slates. Now, complete the zip tie loop, go ahead and push the zip tie “tail end” thru the back of the grille and out the front. This way you will be able to pull tight from the front side. Loosely fasten the zip tie, do not tighten at this point. Repeat steps 3 & 4 for the other sides. You can add as many as you like but two cable ties should be plenty. Each cable tie has a 40 pound tensile strength rating, you grille only weighs a pound or so, don’t over do it.
Step 5 – Go back and secure each zip tie by pulling slightly on each one. Use an alternating pattern. This will ensure the grille is pulled in evenly and has a secure even fit. Do not over tighten, it is possible to damage the grille insert during this step. Clip off excess cable material.
Side Grille Installation Procedure:
Step 1 – Place the grille insert inside the opening. You may need to push the trim out a little to get the best fit. We won’t worry about fine tuning the fit until we get the side grilles attached.
Step 2 - Use a pencil or magic marker to mark the holes where you want to route the zip ties (4 places). On the side grilles we will be drilling some small holes. A 5/32” drill bit works well but you may want to go up one size if you have large hands, this will make things easier. Approximate locations are shown in the picture below.
Step 3 – Your markings should look similar to this, now let’s go ahead and drill the holes.
step 4 – We will have to go beneath the car and remove a couple of pop rivets and some screws so we can get our hand behind the panel for the side vent. The view below is from underneath, use the tire as a reference point. Go ahead and remove these fasteners and drop the plastic panel down so we can get our hand behind. (this is a typical configuration for most late model Hondas)
