When I bought my S2000 I couldn't decide if I liked the car with the OEM front spoiler or not. Since I couldn't decide, I figured that I'd just save my money.

Well, today I was parking my car and ran straight in to the curb. I didn't just touch it, I hit it hard enough that my car bounced backwards. I guess that I was thinking too much about lunch and not enough about where I was going. The bottom half of the lower front part of the bumper has several scratches. I guess that I'm lucky that there was no more damage.

The good news is that according to my 1/18th scale S2000 model the OEM spoiler will cover the damage if I install it. Does anyone have a pic of the bottom front of the bumper with the OEM spoiler installed? Also, where is the best place to purchase the spoiler? I assume that it comes already painted and it is relatively simple to install.

The best place to buy is from the Hardtopguy (that's his user name).
$300 + shipping. Jeff works for a Honda dealership and this is the best price. He is also a sponsor.

I can't help you with a pic however since I never took one from the angle that you're looking for.

Old pic but I hope this helps

spapdx,

From your picture, it looks like it will definitely cover the damage. Thanks.


DVDoughboy,

Do you know which site sponsor is Jeff's? I found a front spoiler for $371.20 delivered from H&A Accessories, but couldn't find anything else in the sponsor section.

I don't think he has a site. he works for Ganley Honda.
PM Hardtopguy or call him at 1-800-342-8158 x 4654 .

I think with shipping it comes out to $33X.XX or so.

Hope that helps

Sheister,
Just remember that next time you do that you'll probably destroy that new $300 spoiler.

I ordered and received a new front spoiler from Jeff at Ganley Honda. There were no problems and the spoiler arrived quickly. Here is a pic before the installation:



And here's one with the spoiler installed:



Overall, the installation wasn't too difficult. I think that the installation instructions could have been written better. They left out important things like the need to remove the front wheels. The only problem that I had with the installation is a gap between the spoiler and the inside of the wheel well. It seems that the tension of the spoiler is causing the same gap on both sides:



Did anyone else experience this same gapping with their installation? If so, how did you fix it?

HARDTOPGUY is the bomb. Best price in town. I got mine two weeks ago. I have yet to install because I want to get clearshield on the spoiler before install.

Sheister, I did notice some gap when I just put the spoiler up to the Bumper for fit and feel. Did anyone else here have to 'massage' the spoiler before install?

Mine didn't have any gaps, fits like a glove.

I didn't have to take my tires off to put the front lip on...just turn the wheels so you have enough room to get to the screws.
