I got a new Honda front spoiler as a Christmas present. Bottom line is that I do not want to install this to my car (White S2000, the Honda spoiler is color matched to the white). The part was not purchased locally, so when I called the local Honda dealers, none of them would take it back. So now what is the best course of actions to take with this spoiler? I just hate to see it sitting in the box taking up space in the garage.

I just hope the giver is not reading this board.

I'n not really sure why you couldn't put it on. It doesn't lower the front much (10mm?) and it protects the front bar. But if you don't like it that's cool.

I'd offer to buy it but I think freight to Aus would be prohibitive.

WhiteS2K, just put it up for sale...Create a thread in Group Buys and For Sale forum. I am sure others will find it useful.

I have a white s2000 and I'm interested in your front spoiler. I got a pair of side strakes from a friend at my honda dealer for free. He pulled them off a wrecked or damaged car. I got the wing for x-mas.... all I need now is the front spoiler. When I first started reading your thread I was hoping you had a white car and you did. I'll give you $200.00 for it and pay the shipping cost. If you want more $ for it just post your price and I'll consider it.

Install it! No drilling is required. The next time you hit a parking lot concrete divider, the scratches will be on the spoiler rather than the front bumper.

Well one reason not to put it on: spoilers are ugly things,
it downgrades a perfect car! Well there's one worse thing:
chrome wheels.

I'm hurt! I've got back and front spoilers, AND chrome wheels! You'll be glad to know I haven't got any fuzzy dice hanging from the rearview mirror.............yet.

Open mouth remove foot, probably doesn't like the side strakes either.

The best reason for the front spoiler other than it looks marvelous, is that it keeps parking barriers form attacking.

Those of us with black cars dont feel the same pain as those with other color S2Ks. When you scrape the front of a black car, you still see black
