Looks like they used the SS rear bumper and cut it up to accomodate the quad exhaust and the CF rear diffuser. The SS rear bumper should've been preserved other than widening the outlet for the quad exhaust and lower/lengthen the CF rear diffuser which could've been a good idea. Trunk looks too bulky. The chrome gas-cap needs to go. The large roll-hoop looks too awkward and outdated (think mid-90's), reminiscent of the large roll hoops from older Mustang convertibles and Mercedes-Benz SL convertibles. Perhaps their 18" concept wheels from the Speedster S2200 concept could've worked better. The GP wheels don't look right on this concept. The widened front fenders look good, but needs a flared/widened rear quarterpanel a la TracySports kit. I have the NZ coilovers as I'm sure this car would have for TAS. They need to adjust the height (ie. lower). The TSX/Accord-style front looks awkward. If the front aero didn't look like something else (which Mugen is usually good at), it wouldn't be problematic, but looks like they've cut and pasted parts from the Honda bin. The 2 foglights and brake duct makes the kit look cartoonish as if they were gun barrels protruding out of the bumper as we drew in our notebooks in elementary school. Brembos are always nice. Must be wider GP wheels to house that BBK. Sideview mirrors look like they were borrowed from the Mugen NSX GT300 car. Great on NSX, not so on the S2000. Windshield is cut to create a traditional speedster-look. Would look better on a car with more curves (ie. Porsche 356, 1995 Miata Speedster concept). If Mugen does release these parts to the public, I'll just stick with the older SS look instead. I'm disappointed 
WTF!
