Do the OEM add ons ruin the lines of the S2K?

Hey guys, I have a buddy that says that the Honda add ones (strakes, lip, spoiler) ruin the lines of the S2K. Below are photos of my car. Do you think they ruin the lines of the car? Also, what do think about the veilside kits, say on a black car? Would that ruin the lines? I think the black would hide the lines with the veilside kit. Anyway, below are photos of my Spa with the OEM add ons. Do you think they ruin the lines? What are the impressions of the veilside kits you've seen?

i don't think that they do. If anything, the only part that might be questionable are the side strakes. the front and rear spoiler really go well with the lines of the car.

veilside, sorry...I'm nto a big fan of that kit. i think on black it wouldn't be as bad, but yet...still bad in my opinion of course. There are plenty of nice kits out there. maybe veilside's new kit...but might as well go OEM, heh

I have all the add-ons on my Spa (strakes included) and feel they all make the car look so much different than other Ss. I love them all. Yer car looks damn pertty.

I love all three of the OEM add ons. I plan on buying a new s2000 as soon as I get some cash together. I have already told the dealers that I want all three on the car if/when I buy it.

Your car looks great! I did not like the spa at first, but now I like it.

side strakes=tacked on and not very well integrated
veilside=

I agree with Ace, Front and Rear are quite nice, but the side strakes don't do much for me and I think Veilside is nasty, the only piece that I think is 'ok' is the front bumper, but I think that kit is way overdone. Your car is beautiful btw, are you going to get some wheels?
