Flares on the s2k. Hows it look?
Hey hey, Just installed some front and rear fender flares today, apparently its not too common to see front flares on an s2000 so I guess I'm one of the lucky rare few 
So my wheel set-up is...
Front: 18x9.5 +20 with bridgestone potenza's 245-35r18.
Rear: 18x10.5 +25 with potenza's 265-35r18. (tried the 295's but lol.)
Car sits on Function and Form Type 2 coilovers. No camber kits yet, they're in the mail.
Questions, Comments, etc lemme know. please dont mind the sawdust, was having a subwoofer box built yesterday haha.

That was going to be one of my next questions, I see 3 options... color match, leave black, or paint glossy black. This car may actually see an urban camo wrap in a year or less and if i do that i think i may want the flares black still though... So many possibilities lol.

You're probably right, I like a good amount of tire but it didn't work out with these wheels. If I knew I'd have changed it but now that they're on, I wouldn't mess with it lol.

this actually looks slick! wonder what it would look like with them molded to the car? would look even better if they were color matched liked previously said. props for doing something different! wheels don't look bad. nice job man. did you trim your oem fenders for clearance?

Really? You all like the way that looks?
I think it looks really out of place, perhaps because the colors scheme doesn't flow well with the car. I think the lip and flares should be painted to match your car and the flares should be molded into the fenders. The wheels should be offset the car, maybe powdered coated black. And maybe a new rear bumper so the flares don't stick out like that;it makes the car look fat. You should also put a stock Honda badge on the rear, because now you introduced red into your color scheme making it look completely out of place.
But then want to camo wrap the car... Before the S did you have a jeep/truck? lol?
Sorry man, just my opinion!
