the only good thing about having a wide body kit is that you can fit some crazy ass wide rims in the back. i say if you can't afford soem 18x 11's then screw it.

i personally don't prefer bodykits......especially widebody...
i like the stock look.....just with lip kits is good enough don't you think?
and think of the weight.............and the need to get fatter rims with fatter tires...
unless you turbo or supercharge that shit.....don't think it's really worth it....u kno?
but.....everyone's got their own taste.....

ex. some like chrome, some hate chrome....

unless you ballin/shot callin~*

Good point. With the size of the wheels you'd have to get, you're probably going to want to supercharge or else you'll be feeling pretty slow.

all show and no go= if you get that kit, make sure you hook it up like that...rims, suspension, sc ot turbo etc etc. this kit is overkill, but imagine how bad it would look with everything else stock plan to spend a lot of $$$

One of the biggest problems with a (really wide) widebody kit on the S2000 is that the rear wheels are so close to the door, so to get them flared out, you have to have a sharp angle sweeping outwards. This tends to look chunky. Since people aren't apparently willing to mess with their doors (ie, replace them with something that tapers outwards towards the fenders), chances are that most of the widebody kits for the S2000 will never really flow well, especially in light colors (like yellow). Black would help, but not much.
