4 months of wanting, 3 months of organising,
....... 1 month of emailing, they are here.....
MY SIDE SKIRTS HAVE ARRIVED FROM THE US of A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now to get it all painted and fitted, get the foglights fitted, get the amuse front lip fitted, get the S2000 rear wing painted and fitted, get my Alpine stereo gear installed, and slide the Eibach Pro's in that I have sitting here, have the rims painted white, while I'm at it.... chuck on the CF Cusco FSB, have the calipers painted gold,, get my Invidia V3 dual 70mm exhaust sent over & put on, Ricks headrests put in, and a couple of other minor things and it'll be done.
Or...... I could save up, sell off while the market is right, and while the kilometres are still good, buy a later model one, less kilometres, and do it all to that car instead...
Anyway, trial fit pics.

You should be right.
I've personally imported about $8-9K worth of parts from USA, Canada, Finland, New Zealand, Japan, and only time I paid tax was on a group buy I did which was a $3K group buy for some ultra rare JDM goodies for the old Prelude.
If its just a single set of coilovers, you should be right, don't sweat it

the s2k looks mean with a nice kit........those side skirts are wicked.
with the kit/lowering your gonna be sitting on the road.........whats the gold coast like for bumps/steep driveways/speed humps etc? Melbourne can get pretty treacherous - pot holes, steep ass kerbs going into service stations and all sorts of shit.

You should have a look at the Chargespeed CF inserts for the fake vents on the AP1 front bars, i reckon they look awesome, they also have a nice simple carbon lip but i reckon the fake vent inserts look awesome...too bad i only saw them after i got the AP2 bar...

The front lip is Poly, so its designed to take a beating
Trial Fit:
This is what the front of the car will look like, with the foglights too:
And the rear, except the V3 invidia exhaust, instead of the V1.
And, if the Amuse poly font lip doesn't look right, the 2nd lip, the OEM poly lip I haveordered in the group buy thread, will be going on, and look like this:
