I don't think it looks that bad... but it's not my thing either.
I've seen a lot more hideous mods like Hella'ing and ultra-cambering one's ride...

I think it's a good mod, probably not on the miata or the civic but in the integra, it looks nice.

I'm not a fan of it (opinion) and I'm like function over form.

This would definitely reduce the aerodynamic effect of a rear wing in a track application. (Fact)

do vortex generators instead. This thing is stupid. (fact)

I welcome new parts but not every part is for everyone. I think it looks odd on a small sports car but on a larger sedan or even coupe it can look good. I like it WRX's or other sedans but it ruins the clean smooth look for the OEM top.

For it to fit the s2000 hardtop the rest of the car would have to be really aggressive IMO.
I don't think its terrible. I bet if a vendor started selling some there would be some interest in it

Couldn't justify doing this to a 3k hardtop, I do like them on integras and a few civics, the miata not so much

I don't think it would be good for the S, but it does look really good on Subarus!! I agree with whoever said the vortex generators would be better (they look good on subarus as well), but again, just not on the S!
