Default front spoiler? Strakes? Question.

Considering a front spoiler and side strakes from honda to go with my rear spoiler. Was wandering if the front spoiler affects the front clearance much (how often do you tend to scrape it).

Also, if you have pictures of a silverstone s2000 with either the strakes or front spoiler can you post them or pm them to me? I'd like to see a few more pictures before I decide. I'm using this car for pleasure, but also to meet clients so I'd like to make it as sporty as possible WITHOUT making it too "aftermarket" looking.

Also, what is the least expensive way to get these accessories?

Depending on how you drive the front bumper will get scratched even if you don't put the front spoiler on.

I have seen 02 with the bumper so badly scratched that you can
see the scratches on the bottom of it if you stand 2 feet away.

I have the front spoiler. The first time i went to a meet there were so many cars i tried to drive around some by taking an inclined ramp and scratched it even though I was doing 1MPH.

Since then I have added the front spoiler protector from coastal metals. It has paid for itself plenty of times. My daily driver is a shorter car so it is not unusual for me to drive the S onto the curb when I take it out...

EDIT 6/27-

Here are a couple of pictures. Notice the big scratch on the protector. The thing has a metal lining inside the plastic molding. Right after the hit the metal lining was all bent out of shape. I used pliers to flatten it a little. You can still see the molding is not straight anymore.

Less is more.

I don't see any rear spoiler, front lip or side strakes here:

the front lip makes the biggest difference, it really completes the frontend and makes it look aggressive. go for it.

All I have is the rear spoiler right now. I love it. I think it is subtle, but adds to the character of the car. Had to have it. Everything else is questionable to me, although I ordered some silver on black "H" emblems that are awesome.
