    not necessarily....

    Not every part of a car is made to go around a corner faster. Not everything put on race cars helps them go around it either.

    Im all for speed and performance but there are exceptions to the rule.

    Even with that being said...a "functional body kit" of coarse it's functional. It does the same thing the standard bumper did. Only now it might be more aerodynamic (i said might!).

    I see that you all about the go, but you gotta realize there is a definite and important area in customizing a car (that term seems cleche) the looks.

    Looks are one of the biggest points on a car. We know its yours by the way it looks. So if i was to put a non "functional" front bumper on your car what would happen. Im not talking bout a nasty front bumper that makes people point and laugh but one thats a bit sleeker than the one you have now. It serves no "function" but to look different.

    Just to repeat myself.....they are all "functional" no matter how nasty.

    most...i said MOST nice front bumpers are functional. either by stabilazation, downforce, top speed, or braking.

    rice (not very functional and looks homo)...


    nice (functional, streetable, looks good, and if put on the track, it would work)...

    Granted the flying vagina on the civic is rice...period. But that kit on the s2000 is ok at best. Just seems boring....rather do stock front than that.

    It says

    "i wanted to put a kit but i was afraid what my friends would think".

    I think this is better


    but enough of s2000 talk.

    You already know i like performance but when it come to vehicles like this....





    i couldn't care less how fast they are. It really is all about the looks.
