I've ordered a Seibon one off Kings performance which looks very similar, plus the ones on EBay are £115+£25 shipping which is cheaper.I think you may have to cut out a strengthening rib from the Oem bonnet to make it fit.I should be ok because I have a Mugen type bonnet which has a piece in it for this type of cooling plate.

If you dont need the bulge the Tegiwa one might be good? Anyone seen / got one?

Being constructed Carbon, not only does this plate offer your S2000 performance gains, but looks fantastic with the bonnet up too.
You need to devote time to getting the air out of the engine bay.
If you like the look of it, fine, that's your choice but don't expect it to do anything

/>The reason I'm fitting one to mine which will include a Razz type nostril is to cut down as much as possible on hot air going into the filter.
As for looks I don't think that they are particularly pretty just hopefully functional for my needs.

Also Honda fitted a small cooling panel on the cars which I had to remove due to pipe work so a cooling plate is needed, even more so if you have a thicker radiator as the air will take the easiest route.

If you are happy with what you think it achieves then I am happy for you. Any air that goes to the filter through the rad will be hotter than otherwise and unless you have monitored the tubulence nad vorticies inside the engine, you have no idea of what the air filter is getting.
Yes Honda have fitted a panel already. Yes air will take the easiest route, but if only it were that simple
