[B]Rick,

What did you use to cover the crossbrace that sits below the stock airbox.

How of curiosity, how much worse does the X-brace make the ground clearance on our S2000? I was reading about the installation, and it seems to take away another half inch or more of ground clearance. I'm already scraping the front of the car pulling into my driveway, so I want to be very careful.

What kind of grill is that on your car, and how did you install it? Looks like two screws? Into where/what?

Ulrich,

It's the Coastal Metals (a site sponsor)stainless steel. It's very well made and attaches, as you noticed, with two hex head screws. The screws attach to brackets which mount to the stock Honda grill. It's quite easy to install and easy to take on and off when you need to. I highly recommend it.

Looks nice Rick. I like the re-use of the stock side badge on the STB. Now you need to find 2 gas shocks to prop the hood open for everyone to see.

You're usually giving, instead of getting, tips but I have the same grill (all 3 ) and wrapped them in body matched Honda door edge guards. It really looks sharp on my Sebring Silver with the stainless grill. Just a thought...you've already matched everything else.

tmorrow,

Are you talking about the Coastal Metals grille? That's a great idea!
