Three things lead me to believe that neither of these are an actual racecar: no roll bars, the softtop is still in place despite having a wing, and they're both running tires that are too narrow for the wheels.
There's no reason to widebody a track S2000. The drag reduction from the vented wheelarches is offset by the larger frontal area, the wheel bearings are loaded out of design specs by the low-offset wheels, and if you're FI and really need the contact patch, you can fit 315-width tires in the back with a cut and pull.
Plus, to be honest, anyone building an S2000 racecar is doing so because it fell within their price bracket. They're not going to spend the cost of a second car on bodykitting it.
These cars are a well-executed but questionable aesthetic statement, nothing more.
