Hey guys, I am not gonna be able to roll my fenders until this weekend, I am going out of town until Friday for work. I am not sure what kind of rush you are in but if you guys have some time to wait I am gonna take a bunch of pictures and probably a video of me rolling the fenders since there doesn't seem to be a "how to..." fender rolling video specifically for the S. You will find all these pictures and all the information I can get in the write up that I will hopefully have up on Monday! Sorry for the delay, folks!

Also just a bump for anyone who has pictures or would be kind enough to take pictures of their fenders mainly the inside preferably with the wheel off.

Thanks!

I'll see about getting some shots of mine up here soon. It's extremely simple once you understand the concept.

I have rolled a few fenders in different vehicles, but I will say the s2000 is one of the harder rears I have rolled. It is just a tougher fender to roll mostly since its 2 pieces of sheetmetal welded together. You have to be very careful with this. I did both the rears of my 2011 Civic SI in the time it took to done one rear side. I worked up a sweat...LOL

Here is a completed S2000 rear fender, from my vehicle - I snapped some pics while I had it on the lift while doing my 60k service. I leave it up to you what to interpret from these photos.

One - This shows the inside, from behind the rear tire where the OEM muffler should be. You get a good idea of how it should look when done.

Note: You cannot see both of the screws I used for the rear bumper tab relocation but I like to use one with a washer up front and one without back inside the pocket. They're just self-tappers, nothing fancy needed IMO.

Two - This shows the view looking straight up from the wheel lip into the bumper, You can see how much was removed. You can also see the second self tapper back inside the pocket from this angle.

Note: I'm running 18x9.5 +29 rears so you will likely need to do less trimming to alleviate rubbing but I very highly doubt you would need to do more.

Hopefully that helps.
