I believe that pedestrian safety should be a top priority. I am adding a front splitter to make the S more people friendly. This way, you dont break anything, just a clean slice right through the shins. =)

"The driver suffered a glancing head contact with the hood frame that could have posed injury risks for a taller occupant. "

Anyone pay attention to this? You only have to worry about this if you are over 6'1", but I'm 6'2", and if my head is even moderately knocked towards the window, its going to hit the knobby part of the top frame. It would be like getting hit in the temple with a ball-peen hammer. Not good. Since I realized this (about a day after getting the car), I cut a small piece of foam pipe insulation, about 8" long, and slip it around the frame by my head every time I drive with the top up. Call me paranoid, but I'd rather be paranoid than have a hole punched in my head if I ever get in an accident.

Great thread!

Thanks to all for the input.

 

Yeah, the S2000 is some crazy tough car, I tell ya. When I crashed, I crashed hard. The car was totaled, destroyed, dead, but I walked away without a scratch.
