that's kinda cool. next time one of us get into a front end accident, we can ask the body shop to replace them with MY04 parts, and let insurance fork the bill, minus the deductible... of course i'm not hoping for an accident, but at least we know that if one does happen, we have the option of front ends...

Why would you want to change it?! Kinda wierd when people ask you "why do you have 04 lights on your car?" Maybe it's just me..

the good thing about this is...
in theory, previous aftermarket front bumpers for previous gen s2000 would fit 2004 model...

Thats cool, I'm glad to hear that, I would love to see what new lips are going to come out for the new front bumper, If there is a amuse style lip for the new front bumper I might swap the bumpers.
