Just installed these yesterday. Did it by myself. Not the best install. Made a lot of permanant mistakes. Car is on my daily wheels. These are picture messages.
Project Kics 30mm spacer
no spacer
mexifunctional
grinding (yeah i got balls to cut my rear quarter, i don't know how to weld so i used jbweld)
A few answers you guys might have before you ask. I cut my rear quarter almost 3 inches up. I don't have pictures. My sources are from googling s2000 rear overfender install. I used 1/8" or 3mm stainless steel 1/4" or 6mm grip. It is not necessary to use a longer grip. These things weight nothing. They are so light. I used 3m double sided tape on the bottom near where the door jam is. The area where the the vent is on the bumper is not riveted. I used stainless 3mm socket bolts and nylock nut just incase i need bumper removal. 30mm spacers are just perfect to bring out the wheels flush. You can probably get away with 35mm if you're not low like me. My ride height is definitely more functional than form because my front fenders are one 10mm wider so i had to clear the front 255/40 tire. 2.5 degrees on the front. 2.0 degrees on the rear. I sprayed flat black rustoleum to prevent from rusting. Definitely have another hand to help during the install. I made a lot of mistakes that I can't fix but I'm happy with them on the car. My passenger side looks better. I saved $700 on the install alone. It is for sure a straight bolt on. No fabricating on the over fenders itself. 110% fitment.
I hope all these answer you questions about these over fenders since not too many people have them yet.

From: from LAX to MCO
I know overall of things at the Philippines are much cheaper than here but I'm sure when it comes to its japanese parts, it's still the same price. Just converted to pesos. That's what I think. Idk. If it was cheaper I would be really surprised.
