Front Bumper Peeling NEED S2K OWNERS HELP!!!UP DATED NEW DESIGN BUMPER FOR 2001 MODEL
ALL S2000 OWNERS PLEASE CHECK YOUR FRONT BUMPER FOR PAINT PEELING/RUBBING BETWEEN THE HEADLIGHT AND THE HOOD/NOSE AREA. (PLEASE LOOK IN THE CREASE WHERE THE BUMPER MEETS THE FENDER/NOSE AREA).
I am meeting with an UPPER Honda representative this coming Tuesday 6/26/01 regarding the above referenced problem with my car (for the whole story see thread - Paint Peeling). Honda is saying it's the body shop's error and NOT the car. I want to prove them WRONG.
If you have this peeling/rubbing problem please personal email me the following: name, address, color of car, Year Model, Vin# if possible. I will present this information in person to the Honda Representative Tuesday. I will keep all information confidential.

Last Fall the bumper on my car was repainted under warrantee for paint peeling from the area directly in front of the hood. This issue was reported for some MY 2000 cars about a year ago.
Note that the paint for bumpers is special to flex with the plastic bumper and may not exactly match the rest of your car. Mine is very close, but not perfect, and I read that color matching is very difficult on yellow cars.
Good luck with your repairs.

Had the same problem (one side only, same place) within 3 months of buying the car. The problem was resolved for me when the front panel was replaced after an accident.
I'm fairly sure that this problem is caused by flexing of the side panels and bumper during cornering, or when driving on uneven road surfaces, causing some movement and wear at these points. Since installing a Neuspeed STB (Strut Tower Bar), I haven't experienced this problem again. This looks like the fix.
JoeyO: I'll email you the info you're looking for.
