would this POS wing actually provide downforce?
$40.00 on ebay....... I just want something (not a $500 wing) that will help at higher speeds....doesn't have to be perfect and it will never be driven on the street, so I don't care what it looks like....
Yes, probably. The one thing to keep in mind is that the S2000's trunklid tends to slope downwards as it goes back. Most "universal fit" wings such as those are designed to work when mounted on a surface parallel to the direction of flow.
Basically what I'm saying is you'll want to raise the rear mounting point so that the main element actually has some down angle instead of being flat or pointed up. Anywhere from 3-12 degree angle of attach should be pretty good on the main element.
I've seen a couple of these (even have a Bomz one like you pictured to play around with) and the airfoil cross-sections aren't as awful as I originally anticipated they might be.
YMMV, of course

The first one looks nice, it's adjustible at least. The second is probably adjustible on the mounting brackets.
I like the first one's wide mounting as the more center mounting of the second will probably be less stable. I also like the price!
You'll need to make new brackets as those look to be way to low. You need to get at least 12" above the trunk lid to catch any clear air.

It really needs to be that high to get real benefits? wow!!! how would someone make bigger brackets?

I am a cheap ass....... I actually tried that website and it did not work, so i tried emailing the guy.....

It doesn't have to be that tall, but the taller it is the more functional it will be.
Just buy an HPM wing and stop screwing around
