I just got my S2K and well lets say wet curve bumpy road spun out and I took out some mail boxes,
Both front fenders are toast as well as the front bumper and prob the headlights,
So i thought why not upgrade to a different front end on the insurance's dime,
So I dont want to go to extreme,
I got an AP1 i thought about doing an AP2 then doing some CR lips etc, I got a good connection for it, but I think I like the AP1 bumper/front end better. Anyways I dont want anything too extreme and I have had the car like 2 weeks so I have not had enough time to research this myself so I thought my S2k brothers could help me out,

If you have looked at the new honda tuning I dont want to go as extreme as the yellow or white one in there, ok ?
Thanks.

 

There are so many choices you can go with. It will be difficult for us to tell you what to do. I would browse the Gallery and select something from there that you like. Everyone has different tastes. For example, I can't stand the AP1 bumper, but you seem to like it.

 

i did a search but i didnt find what I was looking for,
What all is required to do the AP1 to 2 Conversion?
I assume, bumper fenders, prob hood?
Is it an easy bolt on swap or a PITA,
good thing is body shop I am taking it to is a friend so he we will work with me,
I like the Amuse front bumper and Lip.

I really dont want to go too extreme, I plan on adding some other mods but I dont want something too extreme I like the lines of the car and want to enhance instead of change them so to speak,
Ill check the gallery

 

As for the AP1 to AP2 conversion, it really depends on how far you want to go. There are some major differences between the two, and some minor ones that many people don't bother with.

Most people go with the front bumper, headlights, and rear bumper (or any combination of this). You don't need fenders or a hood, but you do need to do a little cutting to get the AP2 bumper on. The bumper support has to be trimmed a bit. If you search on here, you'll see exactly what's needed. Headlights just bolt right on, same with the rear bumper.

If you want to go with AP2 taillights, there's also some sheetmetal cutting you will have to do. There are kits out there, as well as many how-to's on this website. There are other differences in the interior as well, but it all depends on how far you want to go.

In regards to aftermarket bumpers, I'll leave that for other people to answer, as I don't know much about them. I spent way too much on my old Integra going aftermarket, I intend to keep most of my S2000 OEM. Companies like Amuse, ASM, Js, etc are pretty high end and can cost quite a bit.

 

amuse REPLICA!!!

 

ap2, bolt-on, i didn't trim anything.

 

much more agressive look for the same price with oem superior fitment

 

yeah that amuse bumpr is sweet, My thing is right now i can go all out with front and back etc, I definitely want some wheels and upgraded radio,
How would the amuse bumper look on a otherwise stock S2k?

I like the APR also


another




I know for sure i want to stay away from fiberglass, I just wonder if these are a bit xtreme without other pieces rear ends etc, but I could rock the civic while im building the S2K,

Does anyone know if the honda Cr lips etc fit on the AP1 i assume not but I was going to ask,

 

Just one more could someone identify this front end for me please?


is it the amuse? Im a newb to the s2000 so please indulge me

 

if you're going with the CR lip, you need a ap2 bumper for it to work...
