https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.ph...mage&img=12694 I think this looks great and really completes the car! I've been thinking of doing it. To those that have, how is is holding up? What does everyone else think? Anyone have an pictures on Sebring silver? |
If the body shop didnt do a good job, it may peel later on, especially around the tips.
|
Its nice...but I still like the black.
|
I think it looks pretty smooth. If my car wasnt black I would consider doing it.
|
Wow looks really nice! I didn't think it'll look this good until I saw this pic. Nice one!
|
I think I'll have that done when I get my front bumper repainted. Seems to clean it up a lot in the back
|
Ok, I'm getting this done in about 2 weeks....
Now, I just saw this... https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...46ec967a42.jpg What rear lip is that? I'm getting my STOCK rear black valance painted to match my car, and always wondered if there was a "SUBTLE" wrap around lip to match my Honda oem front lip. Would this look good on a stock 2002 with front oem lip/rear oem wing. Please give me some more info and advice on that rear lip? |
Those are C-west sides and the middle is the center clack piece color matched. If you don't plan on taking the sides off then you migh want to flush it in unless you leave it, but then it makes the car look more agressive with all those lines.
|
How much do those side go for? I see what you mean, as they look a little tacked on. You can flush them in?
So you think it would look ok on a stock 2002 with oem front/rear lips? It's either that, or just painted stock one and adding nothing else. |
That blue car is mine. They are C-West Rear Aprons and they are molded or 'flushed in'. I love the look of it.
Here's another view of it. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.s2k...036fa31a56.jpg |
JasonB, the C-west is lower than than the sides and that looks aestetically level. These kits can be had at a good price now that replicas are out. The only thing is to find a good replica. The full kit is very aggressive while maintaining a clean look. S2K1, Hennessey, and Ahhhvtec are prime examples of how clean this kit can look on various colors. There is also a yellow one that is very clean as well that deserves props, but can't think of his name.
|
SO you can buy them either way. Or do you physically have to myake them flush with body work?
I wouldn't add the full kit, JUST THE REAR side pieces. That's what I'm wondering will look good on a stock s2l with front/rear oem lips? How much are those side pieces for rear? |

in addition to painting that bottom part of the bumper, you could do what SpEeDxXxRaCeR here in houston has done. He had his false vents in the front bumper painted to match the paint. Looks real clean.

Yeah EssTooKay, that's the owner with the tight Yellow C-west S, and I just remembered that you had the black S cause that looked tight too. IMO it would look off because the look of the sides are a lower profile. I know S2K1 has a nice side shot if he could post it up for you to see. You can gauge the difference of the height and extension. Those replicas can be ordered from most online sites and the flushing will graft it to your bumper so it cannot be removed without chipping it out and refinishing the bumper. You can contact VIS if you decide to purchase them and tell them Fred sent you or I can contact them with your info. I would suggest against them though since it would not look right and you wouldn't be satisfied.
Hondafan, what do you mean "no problems here"? |

JasonB,
Spend your money elsewhere. [Splitting hairs here, but hey, the topic pretty much requires it as with 99.9% of the other subjects on this board] The "diffuser" looks better unpainted (a la F1 cars, 360 Modena). By painting it, you're effectively make the rear look bigger and the S2000 does not have an issue with this since it's raked and is a bit wedge-like in its original form. The rear has presence and benefits from a more aggressive form with the perceived curvature conditioned by the unpainted lower section. Now where the S really needs help is the front. You already addressed this by adding the OEM front spoiler. As for the rear lip... I was checking this part out yesterday and it looks perfect stock. That rear lips looks pretty horrible anyways (especially when matched up with the OEM goodies). |
Just wanted to say I had the rear lip painted to match over 15 years ago and it's one of the best things I've done I think.
https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.ph...mage&img=17819 Anyone know what poster that is in the background, or is it a painting? |
My votes for leaving the ap1 rear lower trim black.
|
I think it's one of the best easy mods to do. Some care look ok with the black, but on this car the painted to match is the finishing touch,.
