this is going to look awesome , loving the front end, in for more rear shots...

Looking at the amount of width in the arch, i would go straight down, with no taper. However, i seem to think you said you were going to blend the arch in a bit, so if you do a taper might look ok.

great DIY

I say taper it nice and smooth to show off those enormous tyres. Covering them like the kit above just gives it a fat arse...

thanx for all the insight guys !

I got over to the shop today thinking it needed to taper into the body more. But after a few small adjustments It just looked exactly how I wanted it. Here's some pictures as this project is really starting to come together I cant stress how pictures really do it no justice.

Why box out the rear? The back of the front fender is tapered. I feel like you should match that on the front and rear bumpers. It looks WAY more aggressive when you have tire showing.

I agree 100%. The rear kills it

Incredibly awesome, the little diffuser lookin things on the rear bumper are so rad. This is gonna be one of the best s2000 builds ive come across.
