Key for me is to sacrifice looks (i know, a matter of taste) only for function. IMHO, a big wing is OK if it improves your race lap times. If you just use it on the street it's rice, and ugly. Same goes for the hood with holes in it, overly large tires etc. If it fulfills a function for racing it's OK.

Personally i like understated and clean, no stickers or glued on dash kits, but if someone has different taste it doesn't bother me. To each his own.

 

I didn't see any Mugen mods listed, so the Mugen symbol thing under the front grill seemed out of place...didn't really like the odd silver things on the headlights either.

 

I'm a minimalist so that car for me would be fine on the race track but not on the street. However, as long as the owner is happy that is what matters

 

Tim, I'm glag you have done what you want with it. It add the personalization you wanted and that's commendable. When you stray off the beaten path you will naturally create a division between tastes. Face it, It ain't an S2000 anymore. You have changed to look so radically that those that prefer the original styling my not like yours. I guess you know this already though

You tastes are not mine but then it ain't my car either. If I loned it to you and you brought it back looking like that I'd kill you slowly and painfully. I personally like the way the S2000 looks. I didn't get mine thinking it was a diamond in the rough. To me it's pretty much perfect as is. I too have done a few things to "improve" the looks of mine. I lowered it an inch to reduce the wheel gap which I though was too large. I've also add a couple of Ricks interior mods. All the other stuff I have done are "under the hood" type preformance improvements like brake lines, sway bar, X brace and STB.

Enjoy it man but keep the stock parts as you may find it diffucult to find someone else that shares your tastes to the same degree. As is, you've probably devalued your car by the same amount you put into it.
It's got young driver written all over it.

 

Actually the car isn't that bad but there're few things need to be improved. IMO, the wheels are just way TOO wide, either you can sell ur wheels+tires and get another set small rims to make it look right or get the fender flare kit which many ppl think it's sick, but I think they're not that bad. Another thing is to take off all the stickers that reminds me of my friend's riced out civic. BTW, the eyebrow is very cool through!

 

Trying to make the car look fast, like with a Mugen sticker, when no Mugen parts are present would be rice. See all those old nonVTEC Accords or American cars with VTEC or even "VTEK" stickers on the Riceboy site?
