Default DIY rear bumper vents

it was nice weather today and i finally got around to finish up this project. i was going to get the whole rear bumper repainted but i decided to use touch up paint for now. i used satin black on the single exhaust cap but didn't think it was going to be that glossy. will see how it works out at the track in a few weeks. here are some pics.

Looks really good. How is the touch up paint holding? I was planning on doing a cut in my front bumper if I go with the Mugen style air intake but didn't know if I wanted to try some touch up paint around the cut or have the whole thing resprayed.

Honda touch up paint is actually very good. If you lightly wetsand, buff and polish you can't even tell it's been touched up!

if the paint of that yellow bumper was in good shape, i would have traded you mind finish bumper for your yellow one since you're going to repaint it anyways. but i already mount the single exhaust cap.

I normally don't come in this forum, but I had to give this a look when I saw the thread title on H-T's main page.

Fantastic work. Being that I don't own an S2000, it would be difficult for me to notice that you had done anything at all, it came out so well.
