Default Ouch! Who did this and what the hell happened?

Pics are floating all around the internet,

S2000 smashed at a car show in California! Scroll down toward the bottom to see.

I am guessing the driver is ok since that seems to be the tone of the thread. The best part of the pic is the one guy seems to be freezing in his snow jacket and the guy next to him is wearing shorts. Only in California!

Looks like a single car wreck. This is what happens when you don't know how to drive or think that any public road is your personal race track!

FOOLS!

Yes, because you know exactly what happened.

I met that guy at the last Boba meeting(socal). He is the guy with the shorts and the guy next to him is SSMUGEN(Dave). Holy Shit that was a nice car.

That Sebring / CF half-n-half car just did a photo shoot with my buddy over @ vehicleshoot.com
I had the same comment - the transition between the two materials is too abrupt. He is already changing the paint to blend it better. First all CF front end I'd seen.

PanhandlingS2K - way to just jump to conclusions. Don't "ASSume". That guy really needs you calling him a fool - especially if he isn't?

That WAS a nice car. Hopefully it can be saved. I'm not into living with a paint job like that, but it was cool to look at.

Was that the actual Spoon/Polyphony Digital car, or a replica of it?

Well, that's one way to start a modification of the front end!

I've got a question on one of the other pictures. There's a shot of an S2000 just above the one that's crunched. It's black (carbon fiber, I think) on the front fenders, hood, and nose and silver from the doors back. It looks like it's got some kind of hard tanneau on the retracted top with molded in trims that match up to the stock roll bars, not unlike what Nissan's 350ZR has when it's top is down.

Anyone know who makes this and how much? I've not seen it before.

Thanks!
Drive Safe,
Steve R.
