The only thing I don't get is why anyone would take an S2000 and destroy it's ability to handle or drive just so it can look "sick". I know lots of S owners that roll fenders for racing purposes, but more and more folks do it (and do it poorly) just for looks so the car can look like it's suspension is broken.

 

The S2000 was not designed for the masses. The fact that it doesn't come with an automatic transmission alone proves that out. The S2000's problem is it's a Honda and Honda fan boys that do these things with Civics buy S2000s.

Agreed to an extent, doesn't change the fact it was designed for a generic consumer. I've seen plenty of retirees, women, etc driving S2000's that just putz around town. Doesn't change the fact the vehicle can be tailored with aftermarket parts to suit the driver.

I bought my S2000 from two 60+ year old retired people that only drove it in the Summer and had a Prius for everything else. I've lowered it on quality suspension, added some wheels I have loved for ages as well as a few other OEM items. I have a slight roll on my fenders to prevent rubbing on hard cornering. Vehicle is far from slammed though.

 

I've been trying to digest a lot of the clearly juvenile things people do to their cars. Hella flush, and stance cars look good to me, but I can't for the life of me understand how they drive the car any where or do what the car was meant for... to be driven. Cars that drag stuff or rip stuff up to achieve a look just befuddles me.
4,5, or 6 degrees of camber (or whatever ridiculous number) to cram a tire under the car that only 75 percent of tire ever touches ground and abnormally wears expensive tires on a (stock motored N/A) car that literally has no need for a 275 is laughable.
I don't know if anyone has seen the S with airbags, but people were flicking him sh!t for it being on bags, while their car wasn't anymore functional.
I don't know about rolled fenders per se, but a lot of it ridiculous. I agree.
PS. Deep dish wheels was a thing of 80's by the way. Nissan Trucks, Suzuki Samurai's and 280Z's rocked deep dish rims back in 84' in L.A.

 

People care because?

 

Nope. Why should it? They're not rolling my fenders.

What does irk me is people who think that their preferences are the end-all-be-all or that a poor example of fender rolling represents all fender rolling jobs out there. Be careful making broad, sweeping generalizations like that.

 

Well it still irks me. I'm a hardcore S2000 fan. I don't like to see so many intentionally damaged.

And it's OK to make generalizations sometimes... especially when a particular generalization applies to most cases. Look in the Gallery forum and go to some meets. Most fender rolling jobs look bad.

 

Most people who roll fenders do it for the wrong reason (bling, hellalfush, etc). A small minority actually do it so they can increase the performance of the car. And yes, if done well it looks fine and won't devalue the car to any appreciable extent.

 

Your not alone ...the lowered look of today is over the top and dumb is a good word to use , yeh i wanna make my car look broken and not be able to go above 50mph ...cool dude

 

it does look a little better. i get that.
what i dont get it is, why potentially RUIN your car to get that little bit of "flush"?

either get wheels that will fit without modification or dont get any at all.

whats gonna look retarded is when you sell your car and put the stocks back on to huge gaps in the fenders...
