Default Who has RM Racing front chin spoiler?

I see the pic on their web site of this spoiler and I'm wondering if someone has other pics of this spoiler they would like to share.

Other questions:
1- how much does it lower the front? I believe the OEM spoiler is 1/2" lower and am wondering if this is more or about the same.

2- how would you rate it for quality?

Thanks!

i've seen it in real life... both on the s2000 and on the nsx.

i think it looks like a cheap and very thin piece of plastic hanging down from the front lip of the car.

looks kind of "homemade"

I am riding at the stock ride height. Welcome to scrap land. This will drop you nose at least an inch and a half. It looks really sweet though. On a lowered car it wouldn't be street worthy.

Its a quality piece. It comes primed right from the factory so you'll save some bucks getting it painted. Its been one of my favorite mods so far. It really flows with the lines of the car and gives the front end a very aggressive look.

If you really want some other pics, I'll upload them to my domain and link them.

I gag each time I see pictures of an S2000 with the RMR lip.

I just gagged looking at Jerry's sig picture.

In person, no problems whatsoever.

A definite improvement.

jerrypeterson - many thanks, your sig pics are fine.

I have been thinking about the OEM chin spoiler but I'm not thrilled with the way it overlaps the bottom of the standard bumper. My car is coming as Spa Yellow and the black rubber between the 2 pieces creates a strong visual line on the bright colored car and it just looks tacky and added on. IMHO. Now I'm sure lots of people will disagree, but I ain't here to win a popularity contest!

The 1.5" will not be a problem, I have been trained to be careful. My CRX-Si has about 3" of ground clearance at best and I will not be lowering the S2000.

if you like tossing away $150 every now and then to have it replaced, then go right ahead.. i loved the way it looked, but unfortunately the pavement liked the way she tasted even better!




my car is lowered 2" w/ neuspeed springs. the lip spoiler had about 1.5" of clearance to the ground. after about 2 months, this is all i have left.

bkw - many thanks and let me congratulate you on such a beautiful color! (my Spa is on order) I also must admit the red badge is what I intend to do also. Others have said it looks like McDonalds but it looks Ferrari to me!!! I will not be lowering the car so I may be OK with this lip spoiler, and sorry to see the damage you have suffered. I really like the black lip, thanks for the post! Beautiful car!

the ride stock was kinda soft, with the springs, it is considerably firmer, but very bearable. my car is my daily driver and i must admit that it isnt that bad.

the rear end gets really squirrelly on wet and broken pavement, but im sure that'll stop once i can find someone brave enough to align my car.
