Default Ap2 bumper lip on old bumper

I bought an Ap2 bumper lip when my car is a prefacelift, I didn't realise my mistake untill I had it painted and went to fit it. My first thought was to just go buy another one but then I decided to try and make it work.

So With a pack of fibreglass, expanding foam some P38 and P40 and several packs of sandpaper I got to work attaching it.

As soon as it was ready for paint I put the bumper back on the car, then the next day whilst dropping my friend off in town a mercedes vito decided to resverse into me and knocked out the plugs for the plate mount and detached the lip .


I decided to let the bodyshop repair it and fully respray the car here are the results, I'm really happy with it .

Doesn't look much like an AP2 lip, but I really like the end result - very unique!

You got a poor fitting preface lift lip if you had to do all that to make it fit!! But fair play on the end result

Just checked the ebay listing in my emails, its not prefacelift fitment, hence the extended bits i had to do to make to fit.

this is what my ebay purchase said:
"Enjoy your honda S2000 front lip Ap1 style for Ap2 facelift my04 New.‏"

to the OP

your car is a PFL and the lip you bought is a PFL Lip

some of them don't fit properly so you had to butcher it to make it fit

here is a FL lip:
If you want this look then you will need to change your front bumper too
