Default Shining like a new dime

I finally got my Shine bumper painted and installed and wanted to share. I know that the first objection is going to be the fact that I installed the honda emblem on the front. I am a fan of updating the car so that only S2000 enthusiasts can tell that it is modified, the rest of the world just think it is a nice looking S2000.

Without an emblem, I think it looks like this:


Without further ado, here is my car with the grille that I fabricated for it, again for the OEMplus aesthetic. enjoy.



Holler!

All ABS. I first tired modifiying the stock grille, but it is polypropelene, I think, and no adhesives work with that very well. So, I bought ABS and using the stock grille as a guide heated and bent it to fit the bottom profile and then made the crosspieces. The opening is actually close to the same height as the AP2 grille, but not as wide.

thats nice, you should consider fabricating that grill and selling them! but since you already said it yourself.. i think it would look cleaner without the emblem good job nonetheless
