But, some people cannot or will not simply disregard the impact the mods have on the value because of their financial condition, or because they are by nature careful with money. Nothing wrong with that either.
The price is only impacted if the people looking at the car are olds/boring folks who are bothered by something so trivial. (Most buyers would never even notice rolled fenders)

Hi.

My bumpers line up perfectly with my rolled & pulled fenders.

It is not an aggressive pull, but it is pulled 4mm or so.



Rear fits too.

So, I guess I am a member of the "boring" and "olds" class. I plead guilty. Old and boring. That's me.
Why do you feel compelled to insult people?

Whoever did that did a damn good job, I can't even tell.


Those eyelids on your lights look good, where did you get that?

Probably true — In other words the guys that are typically willing to pay top dollar will be turned off.

I’d guess this is true as well. Just don’t count on as much money changing hands in this case

Personally I think rolling and pulling on a street car is just silly. There’s a few good aftermarket options that fit our cars well. I just don’t understand why people would be trying to fit < +45 rims to this car. But again, to each his own. I refuse to do fender mods on my car and have opted to purchase proper-fitting wheels and tires in order to keep things in order. I definitely wouldn’t buy a car with fender mods, especially considering how aggressively it needs to be done on s2ks vs other cars

I blame the death of civility & political correctness among conservatives in my formative years of 2008-16. Maybe if they hadn't told a sitting President to go back to Africa, I'd be a more pleasant young man today.

A friend & I did the fronts, we took a day to get them right, but I'm very happy with the results. Thanks!

Eyelids are CWest, available here: C-West Eyeline Kit - Honda S2000 00-09 | Evasive Motorsports

They're plastic/FRP with double sided tape, I just wrapped them in vinyl that somehow matches NFR.

I'll warn they look very goofy on most cars, IMO.

probably just depends on the future buyer, some buyers can careless others you couldn't give the car to them in a sense, I don't care if or isn't, my s2k is rolled

You may have turned into a more pleasant young man, but you would still be an ahole. Nice canards and eyelids by the way. "Because Race Car"..... I guess.
