i honestly don't think they are that noticeable....i'd just get a lip and be done with it...when someone crashes into you, then you'll get both the bumper and the lip replaced

plus the lip will draw people's attention to it instead of the bumper, BUT if it bugs you, then getting it repainted should be able to cover it up, provided you take it to a good shop, they will probably sand it down and repaint

0-60 in 5.5 is powerful in my books.

They aren't that noticeable in the picture, but in certain lights they're very noticeable. I'm looking at the stock OEM lips, and they don't cover the top part of the bottom of the opening on the bumper (lol sorry on wording).

That is impressive to do in an Ap2. Most of these posts are made by Ap1 owners.

As far as the turtle wax, are you sure it'll cover that up? Take a closer look guys because I'm not sure if we're on the same page.
Several years ago I had an integra that was bumped in the parking lot. It spider webbed the paint on the corner of the bumper. With the color matched turtle wax, I used the wax crayon to fill in most of the scratches, then the color match wax over that. Probably 90% of the spider web completely disappeared.

For $8-$10, it's worth a shot before you throw serious money at a repair.

u can goto honda to get a oem lip if u wanted to or get one from seibon/vis
even ebay has them for cheap if u want to keep cost down.

like some have said, quit driving like a madman. the s2000 is not the greatest car for unskilled drivers. get some autox time in so u know your limits better.
i would say on avg the limits of the s2000>skills of most owners.


and ps the s2000 is a very powerful car when ur comparing it to a stockish civic guys.

Plus I'm still not seeing any front spoiler that covers up where the spider marks are.
