My strakes got mangled at the car wash. I didn't realize they were THAT low - they were on when I bought the car used.

And yeah, MSRP is $50,600 before all the other BS fees that dealers tack on and then add 13% tax.

We don't CRs in Canada (AFAIK). Not sure if they can be imported either (at the time when I bought mine - no)

 

20k saving but no warranty

 

Not much could go wrong in the first 36k miles that $20,000 couldn't fix.

 

There are people that actually do just that for a living. They sell cars to different countries. The hard part is getting the inventory to sell. A lot of car companies are cracking down on who they're selling the cars to because they don't want to affect the profits they get from the other countries. If they can sell an S2000 for $50k in Canada, why would they want that customer to be able to purchase one for $30k in the US.

 

The under strakes are there for high speed stability. I lost one once and just bought a new one to replace it.

 

Where did you buy just one?

 

Honda.

 

I am not sure if this is what he is talking about but I think it is part #12. And I also remember something on a thread about those being needed for high speed stability. Or to minimize water onto the tire to keep from hydroplaning.

Yes, part #12 is what we are/I am talking about.

As for keeping water away to assist with hydroplaning, they sit awfully high to keep water out of the way.

On second thought, the air being pushed aside may help move water away from the line the tire would be taking, so maybe they do help with water movement.

 

Yeah, but he's talking about the bottom part of the side strakes, not the front strakes.
