Here's a quick PS of what it should have looked like just for kicks
That looks like a black and white ghetto lowered s2000 with gold rims to me.

WOW, I didn't know using photoshop to lower a car made it ghetto

It was just for the hell of it, making a joke that it would have looked much better lowered, no wing, and no cover thing!

Huge let down. But yeah it looks like a lot of the cars modded on here. And how do you know it was AHM that designed it? If you read this article it doesn't appear to be.

I'm glad I wasn't able to see this unfold today.


...and just to think I thought this thing would make me want to trade my 06LBP for ...I don't know what to call this hideous thing. The only thing I noted that I'm curious about is the new cluster.

This was uehera's last hurrah. A tribute to a great man who gave the world three of the most exciting production cars - the NSX, the ITR, and the S2000. If HE thinks that this is worthy, then I'm sure it is. Might not look fantastic, but neither does much of the other crap that some forum members throw on their cars - that ugly spoon bodykit posted above being a case in point.

The funny thing is as someone mentioned above, this is what the "raw" and supposedly "hardcore" dedicated enthusiasts wanted after the "watered-down" AP2 tongue.gif And now everyone's pissed?

-Actual downforce
-Stiffer Suspension
-Lighter Weight
-Stickier, wider rubber
-Shorter throws

All the above echoes what I've read the supposed hardcore folks ask for on this forum. And now I bet the very same folks can't handle the fact that this is truly a HARDCORE machine complete with big ass functional wing and all. Bloody pitiful...

Honda does the same thing, and the "perception" is that it's bad.

You ever think the reason Honda did it this was is because all this crap is exactly what people buy and put on their cars on this forum.

Or at least a large part of the modders.
i think this thing looks UGLY..

some kits are ugly.. some kits make the car better.. this is just plain ugly..Do u honestly think this car looks better then a stock ap2 with a lip?!

shouldve left the outside alone with minor cosmetic mods and made the car quicker..
just like the ITR.. or even 99-00 civic Si's.. what the heck were they thinking!

I guess you can't eally be mad at Honda, most of the Honda owners I know are ricers with giant wings and ugly ass body kits, I have not seen an aftermarket body it that I have ever liked on the S or any other Honda. These cars will sell fast as shit because a bunch of ricers with money will pick them all up as soon as they hit the lots
