Default S2000 "winged" victory (not 56K Friendly)

Spent a year hedge-hawing over various wings for my S2000 but after seeing this wing in APR's catalog, I knew I had finally found something I could live with. I special ordered the end plates (carbon fiber) but all else is stock. It's labeled as APR's mini-drag wing. My .02, it's just high enough to look aggressive without appearing downright silly. Garnered about 10 opinions since putting it on yesterday and all but one approved. Most said, "the car looks much more aggressive now" which is what I wanted. File this away under wings for S2000's. Good for the archives I suppose.

I like both, but the Mugen is very clean looking. At least you did not get too extreme with the APR wing. No DOUBLE DECK please!!! Hahah. Nice Suzukas.

Most people don't approve of my spoiler until they see it in person. I really like yours, aggressive, but not too aggressive.

How did this thread get posted twice? Weird. Anyways, I am "considering" painting the middle section suzuka blue but am not sure if it would look ok. Anyone with photoshop skills want to chime in?
It's adjustable but this is the angle that I thought looked best. The top plate can be angled up or down.

those spoilers look pretty good on the s2k, even the amuse s2k has one that is functional. but on the other hand, i would never buy one since i like my car clean with no "extras".

Sounds like a CBR on steroids. Definitely more of a "race car at the track" vibe than most I've heard. Probably 60% superbike and 40% sportscar. Not subtle either. My mechanic said at warmup, he thought it was the most aggressive sounding exhaust he'd ever heard from a non-V8. "It was rattling the walls until it settled in on idle!" he told me. Rattling 'em in a good way.
