Let me tell you guys a story about this shizzite.
I purchased my S as a repo from my financial institution (credit unions hate being called banks). When I took delivery I had to remove this plastic chrome bead bullshizzit from the following:
-- around all four wheel wells
-- the whole hood
-- the entire grill horizontal and verts
-- a 3 inch tall/thick/wide bead down the length of the car under the doors (basically street level)
-- around the trunk
-- around the case of the drop top (the black hard plastic piece that buts up to the start of the trunk)
-- across the black piece between the two mufflers
In addition, I had to remove all of this penstriping:
-- double lines around both head lights
-- double lines around both faux intakes/fog light wells
-- double lines down the upper horizontal line of the car (including door handle
-- double lines following the horizontal inset curve toward the bottom of the car
The previous owner must have been "UBER-PIMP - super pimpy pimp master flex, defender of the old spice realm"
This took all day 'cause I had to manually remove the excess adhesive with about a gallon of goo gone
This application IMHO is a$$!!!! get a nice screen or billet grill
Leave the chrome bead and wheel well trim for the pimps and rednecks (no insult intended).

I think it only looks good on the first gen CR-V and the Odyssey. Hope you didn't do it to your S2000 already...Jean

If you're asking me I couldn't put it on even if I wanted to. My front mount is in the way.

Take it easy buddy... no need to "part drop." Makes you sound silly.
