I came over from owning VW's... everything I tried to do with my cars was keep them clean with tastefull modifications. I like my S2000, but some of the things people do to them really throws me off and honestly certain exterior modifications seem to destroy the looks of the car in general.

God these things look terrible, they do nothing, and add weight


Way too much for the car, makes it look like a person with a huge underbite. Not only that, but it looks like this bumper is composed of 4 or 5 different pieces.


Exhausts that hang down like a grown man walking around his house without any underwear on



Sorry, just my opinions.

I agree. The S2000 looks just about perfect from the factory. Why people ruin these cars with horrible body kits, wings, etc. is beyond me.

I should introduce you to my friend - WRS2K.

Actually I agree - and let me add the original Veilside body kit and unpainted carbon fiber hoods to the list of stuff that would never end up on *my* car.

But hey - to each his own. It's a (mostly ) free country - if guys want to rice up their cars thats just the way it is.

Now that the car is getting pretty cheap in the used market - get ready for some seriously tacky looking S2000s.

My exhaust looks a little like that one though

everyone has a vision of what their Roman Chariot looks like - mine doesn't add any of those things pictured in the top post...

Black is beautiful...white is dynomite..your mileage may vary.

What's worse is seeing a Del Sol dressed up to look like an S2000. Including non-metallic silverstone paint, S2000 lights, sidemarkers and emblems. Someone was driving one near LAX and I nearly wet myself laughing as I passed him -- in my S2000. It was definitely a Kodak moment, but I didn't have my camera.

I've always said to each his own, but i do believe some cars shouldn't be riced out.
