2004-2009 -> AP2 S2000's
The displacement was upped from 2.0L to 2.2L. Power remained the same but the torque was increased. Redline was lowered. Suspension was tweaked and was more livable/easier to drive. AP2's also had minor cosmetic mods/different/larger wheels. Rear window was changed to glass also.

I'm pretty sure I'm missing some other things too so others feel free to chime in.

Technically, the s2k was only sold as a 2000 model on. The plastic rear window was only on the 00's, and some 01's. 02-03 had a glass window. General gist is the same, but 06 adds traction control, and suspension tweaks came pretty randomly (02 got a changes, as did 05 and 06).
