NEITHER!
as bash said, the car does not need any aftermarket "aero" parts, esp. not in the side-skirt division...
anything other than maybe a VERY moderate chin spoiler would ruin the S2000's smooth, crisp lines. (an example of ruining the lines would be a VeilSide S2k, yuck!)
if you want your car to appear more 'massive,' lower the car, stuff in some 17s and you got yourself a nice ride. (18s will fit but dont allow much for lowering, as the S2000 has very small wheel wells)

i would have to also say neither. Besides the oem front and rear spoilers, I wouldn't add any other "aero" parts. the side strakes just don't add much to the look...

The side strakes look like over sized mud flaps. I think the oem front lip is all that is needed. I don't think the Comptech skirts come painted and that would be another issue with deal with.

Oh another thing - With the OEM Side strakes, some have had problems with keeping them on. They are just stuck on with adhesive and I'm sure you can find a thread or two on here where someone's looking to purchase just one side due to this.
