I think you guys needs to adjust your baseline weight a bit. A stock S2000 with half a tank of gas is going to weigh quite a bit more than 2650.
Stock, completely empty with the spare and tools already removed, and a near empty gas tank (~2 gal), the car will weigh just a hair under 2700lbs.

Pick the number you like best:
One Honda source lists the weight at 2,809 pounds (about 150 pounds under a BMW Z3) and another says 2,756 pounds.

You guys forgot to mention ditching the trunklid and installing an Amuse cf trunk which also ditches the rear brake light and would probably shed another 25+lb.
As for the bumper bars that Randy mentions, you could swap the steel ones for aluminum ones front and rear and still have some crash protection left.
Powerhouse Amuse dropped 200lb+ off their car, and still kept their air conditioning and added a full rollcage, so it is possible.
