Default S2000 Makeover

Figured you S2000 owners would appreciate this. We gave this car a complete makeover. Shaved the front bumper. Fixed all guardrail damage. Smoked the original tail-lights. Colored matched one wheel from damage as well. No emblem on the back because he had some special S that he purchased from Australia, that I damaged getting off.

looks clean, just wish the rear emblem holes were filled in/shaved and the black tails are whatever but all in all nice work.

I have a side shot it won't let me upload. The owner wants to get the same emblem he had put back on it. I would have shaved it if it was mine.

the mesh was in the other bumper and I just swapped it over. Doesnt fit the greatest either. I have no idea where he got that at. The lights are actually pretty bright when on. The shop makes them look darker.

I dont think this thread backfired. The S2000 does look nice besides the tail lights but its the owner who wants it so what ever. What wheels are those? the look kinda wide for stock.

Ima keep it real:

the tails look a LITTLE cool with the tint, not gonna lie.
but OEM looks WAAAAY cooler.

Also getting hit on a dark/foggy because that tint is so dark < being safer with OEM tails.

I doubt insurance will want to cover that if they use the "I couldn't see him braking with that illegal tint on the brake lights" story.

Well I'm glad he likes the taillights because its not really tint. Its basecoat black with clearcoat blender, then a coat of clear on top. The wheels aren't stock.. I really don't know what kind they are. They are almost the same color of the car tho. I gave up on trying to upload the side shot don't know what happen there.
