I can deal with body kits on S2000's, but the day I see people putting aftermarket lights on their S2000's is the day I sell the car and save up for an NSX. Oh Brother.

Not sure if you'd consider that "aftermarket" though.

There's something very different between retrofitting your own headlights...
and buying cheap ricey, pre-made, off of a shelf in Taiwan headlights/tail lights that look like shit.

Eh, I haven't seen any aftermarket headlights that perform as well as any OEM HID headlights
With that said, I think the S is pretty high up on the list as far as quality on HID headlights.
Why would you want to downgrade your car?

I brought this up because I feel that there are some cool after market headlights. My friend installed these in his G35

The s2000 headlights are VERY VERY expensive. Around $500 per side.
I remember trying to get s2000 projectors to retrofit into a civic and it was $$$$.
The reason is because the s2k's projectors are HID and use a real HID Projector lens that has the 2nd widest beam on the market (opposed to a halogen projector lens that creates lots of glare and hotspots), not to mention the cutoff is amazing.
People WANT s2000 headlights as THEIR "aftermarket" because as a package theres really nothing you can do to improve on them.
I highly doubt those aftermarket headlight companies will or can produce something that looks better that will function better while at the same time turning a profit.

End topic.
There is no way to improve on the S2000 headlamp other than to perhaps modify the S2000 projector to be Bi-xenon!
