It would work but it's not totally foolproof; I have a 7" screen in my Xterra with a rearview cam. The view on screen is slightly smaller than looking in the rearview, but the camera has better POV and a fisheye lens. That tiny screen on the JVC might get you in trouble.

If anything the S2000 needs a front camera to protect the lower lip of the bumper, not a rear camera.

Thanks for the input. You just have to alert of your surroundings so you don't scrape As far as the screen getting me in trouble I would keep the radio door closed.

just be carful thats all. Shoot I scrap all the time sometimes frame but i guess you gotta pay to play. I've been riding dumped car since 96. And I still haven't gotten tired of it.

Stock height is just so ugly in my eyes.

Our car is pretty short on length so just don't pull all the way into a parking spot and you won't damage your front bumper/lip.

I use the side view mirrors as a guide. Whenever the curb aligns up to the bottom edge of the sideview mirrors I stop moving forward when parking. Haven't scraped my front lip yet. *knocks on wood*

hmm preference thing i guess. s2000 is low enough for me, switching from my s2000 then to my civic, the civic feels like an suv to me for a couple seconds.

anyone know where i can get a cheap splitter for the s2000?
