the only nice one is the yellow j's kitted one

1. the white one: looks stock w/ a drop and some hideous wheels, but gets a pass since it's white
2. the red one: decent but fails w/ the wheels and even more so with the ghey fake jdm plate
3. aem car: doesn't count
4. the black one: fenders, wheels, and mostly the fake oem cf lip are gross. all cf pieces on that car would look better painted w/ certain portains left cf. the lip cannot be saved.
5. yellow j's: see comment above
6. suzuka one: decent,not feeling the cf hood and looks out of place w/out a front lip. the wheels, while nice, look too big

edit: the only flaw w/ the j's car is the black painted underspoiler on the front bumper, but not following that theme with the sides and the rear

I have the same wing on my S2K as the black one, only the GTC-300 version, rather than his low sitting Drag version. I really dig the wholly polished engine bay setup, and the CF is nice... just needs a front bumper setup in CF and the whole front end would be uniform.

I just love how cars are ripped apart around H-T. I think they all are pretty redeemable, considering the pure and unadulterated crap that abounds comparatively in the hatch/civic/integra aspects on the Honda world.

It's cool if you are into rice...not my thing personally.

That being said, these S2K's are ricey as fuuuck, and not very well executed either.

The half carbon fiber one is the worst....dear god

I'm not against free speech, but it's no surprise as to why hardly anyone posts on H-T compared to other options. Little to no moderation and an abundance of opinions that are founded in idiocy.

I guess I find that there are so many other more important things people can have issues with Mod wise than anything shown in any of the pictures above.

The Honda world has WAY, WAY, WAY more to worry about in terms of "Rice" than anything I can see in the cars above. Just drive 10 minutes on any road near me and you'd find many examples of Hondas that are modified or tuned in ways that would merit more "Rice" than what you see above and much more aptly deserve your negative attention.

I've said it many times before. Save your "Hate" for the things that are worth it in the Honda world. Otherwise you just kill any idea of community, as people stop posting and alienate people from positive builds and make H-T that much more of the dead-zone it's now becoming due to your "free speech".

Do what you will, but I'd rather highlight and build community with fellow S2k guys than take the low road. I guess I'll leave that to you. Have fun.

You say you're not against free speech, but then you give reasons why every one opinion here is invalid. Sounds like you are against free speech, and the only opinion that matters is yours.

Such as?

Look, all I said was that it's rice, and everyone threw a hissy fit. Just because it's not poor, DIY rice, doesn't mean it's not rice. It's just tacky expensive rice. JDM bling, and all that crap. I garuntee you out of all those cars you posted, maybe one of those cars actually see any track time, and maybe 2 total are actually driven, opposed to being a trailer queen.

And COME ON. Carbon fiber lip, carbon fiber hood, carbon fiber trunk, carbon fiber wing, carbon fiber mirrors.... all = rice. Honestly, what is the point of owning any carbon fiber body part other than bling? No, your car is not getting lighter and faster...you don't have a complete dry carbon body kit, you're not using it in a practical application...you're just pissing you're money away, but like I said....completely COOL if it's you're thing.

Carbon fiber can be OK looking if actually done right. None of the examples above qualify. In my opinon at least...which apparently, is hateful

What, according you..is exactly is worth "hate" as you describe it? I don't "hate" rice, because mainly....I don't envy it.

Green wheels on a yellow car? no thanks

In my opinion, what is killing the honda "community" is exactly the hardparking behavior that you believe the honda "community" is all about. Why don't more honda people get together and go to track days, instead of parking lots, NOPI, and HIN

S2KI is a place where they care about that...stuff. You will be much more at home there.

Oh noes! TE37's??? Totally looks like he put a nice coilover set on there to compliment his new track wheels, right? Come on...if you're going to hardpark it, at least do it correctly .

LOL, it has a supercharger AND an aftercooler WOW! CAN YOU SAY BALLER?

More power than I know what to do with? ROFL. That supercharged S2K doesn't really look all out....honestly. Just a stab in the dark, but it looks like a pretty much kit bolt-on affair. a mid 12 second car is NOT more power than I know what to do with, ROFL. Ok, i'm done with my bench racing ramble.

Hooray for you for being a nutswinger about a car you know nothing about, though

ha ha all i have to say is, different strokes for different folks, those green wheels are pretty rare for the most part, for all you folks out there who haven't been to japan check out their cars in person, they have the most "weird" color combo's but yet everyone strives to be JDM around here.

But again i say different strokes for different folks everyone should have their own opinon and shouldnt' take any one elses offensive.

the JDM fad is ridiculous... if i like how something looks, ill buy it. if i dont (even if its "oh so JDM") then im not gonna buy it. same reason why i dont see why someone would spend $400 on floormats just because they are ASM, or $1300 on a bumper, when the $600 one does the exact same thing. granted, engine/suspension/wheels mods are different, but only to an extent
