Normally the lip comes painted from Honda?
Unless you bought a copy...

It says OEM "Style"in the intro post :p


Front lips are a necessity. Both AP1 and AP2 bumpers NEED the front lips.

looks more aggressive with the lip, but it does look like a bit of an after thought in some angles. I had mine on and off for awhile. Its more driveway friendly without one!

I'd rather have a replica lip scrape then my genuine bumper ;)

Your driving style only needs to change a little bit to not scrape everywhere.

the front lip makes the car look more aggresive
without it, the front looks like its missing something
my mate with a black s2000 is kicking himself because his car looks like a 'girl version' of mine since it has no lip
the car just looks so soft without it

haha so true
i scraped my front more when my car was standard height then i do now that it is lowered like 1.5 inches
guess its about taking more care of how u enter a driveway, as mine is also very steep
wen i reverse out..im literally 1-2mm from scraping and ripping off my front bar

ye the guy i bought the car off had the springs compressed, is there any way i can raise it abit? if there compressed cause if i change the rims from 18 to 16inch and put a lip on it i think itll feel the floor way to much and i gotta take a picture of my driveway for u guys lol

The only way to raise it is if you get coilovers or go back to standard shocks/springs!

Yeah definitely get rid of those rims.. Stock black rims and a bit lower will look sweet. Just like TGZ80Y

Engin09
07-04-2010, 11:28 PM
haha ye i thought of the idea then i noticed some1 already did it but i still want to go along with it, i wish i bought TGZ80Y's rims, if i had my s2k back then id have payed the 300 for em. im also going to smoke the back lights and the front what do you think?

Black looks a bit meh, but dark gunmetal type colour looks nice. There was a set for sale in the classifieds but they sold today.

Did you buy them Engin09?

Engin09
08-04-2010, 05:18 PM
lol na i didn't was that the set with the stock and the gunmetal? i told him i wanted them but he said sold

and black looks awesome :P well im getting stockies then painting em so its either very very dark gunmetal or black, most likely glossy black like TGZ80Y's
